Following meticulous research, the novel begins when Eleanor’s beloved father dies in the summer of 1137. At just thirteen years old, she marries the young Prince Louis of France, becoming a queen within a week of her marriage.

About the author

Elizabeth Chadwick

Chadwick writes the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and the William Marshal novels are the best known: a knight who served five kings and was very nearly put to death at five years old when his father declined to surrender a castle for him.
