Eleanor of Aquitaine - The Queen of France and England Documentary

Who was the woman who ruled two kingdoms and defied the greatest men of the Middle Ages? In this deep dive into the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine, we explore how a Duchess became the Queen of France and, later, the Queen of England. From her scandalous divorce from Louis VII to her legendary marriage to Henry II, Eleanor’s influence shaped the Angevin Empire and the course of European history. We break down the truth behind the Second Crusade, her 16-year imprisonment, and her role as the "Mother of Kings" including Richard the Lionheart and King John. Was she a political mastermind or a medieval rebel? Learn about the Court of Love, her impact on chivalry, and how she navigated the power struggles of the Plantagenet dynasty.
