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.
