About this listen

Eleanor of Aquitaine.

A loving mother. A betrayed wife. A queen beyond compare.

Imprisoned by her husband, King Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of England, refuses to let her powerful husband bully her into submission, even as he forces her away from her children and her birthright.

Freed only by Henry's death, Eleanor becomes dowager Queen of England. But the competition for land and power that Henry stirred up among his sons has intensified to a dangerous rivalry.

Eleanor will need every ounce of courage and fortitude as she crosses the Alps in winter to bring Richard his bride, and travels medieval Europe to ransom her beloved son. But even her indomitable spirit will be tested to its limits as she attempts to keep the peace between her warring sons, and find a place in the centres of power for her daughters.

Eleanor of Aquitaine's powerful story is brought to a triumphant and beautiful close by much-loved author Elizabeth Chadwick.

Eleanore was a most inspiring person. She was devoted to her kin despite their constant infighting. Historically she may be one of the most fabulous women to have ever lived having accomplished so much and lived so long. Great read!

A beautiful story, very well written and told well. The story was quick moving and characters very believable following historical facts for most of it. This is the best trilogy I have ever read.

A most magnificent tale

The series was pretty good. Started last year and have been listening on and off. Often stopping to do a bit of fact checking as it's a rather romanticised version of Eleanor and I like my protagonists to have a few more flaws. Definitely a good read I'd recommend.

Last in the series.

I have loved listening to the Eleanor of Aquitaine series. The attention to historical detail is great, while still weaving an interesting story of love, ambition and power. Katie Scarfe's performance is also a highlight. Great series for fans of historical fiction!
