[quote=""Misfit""]Heh, I knew the books on Eleanor would get EC's attention. I think they're pretty cheap in the UK (I found one for $1 plus postage - and that's cheaper than the prices on my side of the pond). The book with William and Eleanor you mentioned - is that the Ellen Jones book? Or are there more like that?[/quote]
This is it!

Eleanor of Aquitaine just arrived. It's hard back and the covers not cheesy at all. I was hoping to scan it but I'm having issues and may have to wait until I'm back at work next week. I'll provide quotes and updates as I'm reading it - assuming you all would like me to do that.

"Love was the sole occupation of my life. Sometimes I indulged it unwisely and not too well. But oh, the memories!"

Well actually, love wasn't the sole occupation of her life, but marrying two kings, having ten children and ruling the duchy of Aquitaine has obviously just faded into the background...because all the sex she had along the way was that good.

Bummer. I wonder what the seller would say if you tried to return it because the cover wasn't cheesy enough

You guys are tempting me very sorely!
How long is this book? It would seem a challenge to squeeze all of this in!bed with Louis, her uncle Raymond, Saladin (even though he was only 11 when they met), a Greek pirate, the troubadour Bernard of Ventadour (of course, although for awhile I thought he was going to leave him out), and of course both Henry II and his father, Count Geoffrey.... also ... experimenting with her maids, the bath maidens in Constantanople, and even with the Empress Matilda ...
