by Elizabeth Chadwick This is the second book in a trilogy about Eleanor of Aquitaine, or Alienor in French, her native language. The first book, The Summer Queen, was an excellent read so I didn't hesitate when this one came up for review. I haven't been disappointed. If you like Historical Ficti...
by Elizabeth Chadwick This is a historical fiction about Eleanor of Aquitaine, spelled Aileanor in the original French and for the novel. She is forced to marry the young Prince Louis of France and soon becomes the Queen of France. She is depicted as a strong personality, but living in a time wh...
Elizabeth Chadwick has been a can't miss author for me. Eleanor of Aquitaine is one my favorite historical subjects. The combination of these two things should have made for a book that begs to be devoured in a day, right? Not so much. For starters, the elephant in the room is Sharon Kay Penman's...

It chronicles the breakdown of her marriage to Henry II as well as the start of the major family in fighting between Mama Bear and her cubs against Papa Bear. At some points, Eleanor is a bit more sinned ag...
The first book in Chadwick's series about Alienor (Eleanor of Aquitaine). It basically covers her marriage to Louis and the very beginning of her marriage to Henry. Chadwick's Alienor is not only in keeping with her brief appearances in the Chadwick Marshall books, but also with the image that most ...
This Chadwick novel tells of the early days of Fulke Fitzwarin - his training and marriage. But it is really a novel about different types of relationships between men and women. It is what makes the story compelling. You do not particularly care what happens to the contested lands, but the relat...
