  Hunkered in by the hurricane. Watching by candlelight. So amazing.

  Everytime I listen to something on Eleanor of Aquitaine, it makes me want to rewatch The Lion in Winter with such a great movie with a great cast, Katharine Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, Anthony Hopkins, Nigel Terry and a very young Timothy Dalton.

  Eleanor is perhaps the most interesting woman who ever lived in my opinion, what a life!  Great stuff Kev!

  When I moved to France in 2010, I was determined to visit the Abbé Royale at Fontrevaud, where the Plantagenets are buried. Well, parts of them! Also Joanna of Sicily, one of Eleanor’s daughters who lived with Eleanor at Fontrevaud but died in childbirth I think. It’s &nbsp;a very atmospheric abbey, with wonderful cloisters, and history around every corner, the stone carvings and wall paintings are well worth seeing.<br>Eleanor was so amazing, she lived until nearly 84. &nbsp;Thank you for posting this.

  I always thought Eleanor of Aquitaine is one of the most amazing, interesting characters from all of medieval history! Thank you for the fantastic video!

  Fascinating history! &nbsp;The Lion in Winter, with Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor, is my favorite Christmas movie.

  Eleanor of Aquitaine is my 25th great grandmother through her daughter Eleanor, Queen Consort of Castile… Thank you so much for this episode and for the interesting bits of information at the end, which I was not aware of! ❤️

  Mr.Hicks, I would like to say thank you for bringing Britains history to the masses. We in America know little about your history. Your passion for history and way of delivering the information really bring the characters to life. May God continue your channel.
