Set in the twelfth century, the story follows Eleanor of Aquitaine, a strong and intelligent heiress navigating a male-dominated society. Despite her noble status, she faces constant challenges from powerful men who seek to undermine her authority. Her marriages to two kings and her role in two Crusades highlight her resilience and influence, as she raises ten children, including King Richard the Lionhearted. Norah Lofts vividly portrays Eleanor as a pioneering figure whose leadership and spirit defied the limitations of her era.
