Eleanor of Aquitaine did not know she could change the world. No one guessed she ever would caught in her charisma, the way her court was. But she did change the world. She changed it in a fundamental way. Surviving the singularity of the apocalypse, fighting her way through the 2nd Crusade in the 12th century, she became a queen of two countries, mother of ten. Eleanor held on to a life true to her childhood being and experienced the romance of the world. She wrote down her code, opened the first court of French romantic manners, and taught the world how to love. How she did this is her story, why she was compelled to do this was her character.
Read about the greatest queen you never knew.

4 of the 6 books of the Eleanor code. The fifth, Love and Rebellion is coming in 2016.
