Eleanor of Aquitaine Part I: Queen of France

This is the first of two episodes regarding the life and legacy of Eleanor of Aquitaine.  While she is more known as the mother to English Kings' Richard and John, Eleanor was a major power player in her own right.  This April Queen was an early feminism who continually pushed back against the patriarchal systems built into the age.  This episode covers her upbringing, her marriage to the French King, and her role during the second Crusade.  It concludes with her divorce and subsequent remarriage to Henry II and the civil war that followed.
