A fascinating and action-packed faction of a woman ahead of her times. Unlike most historical records of Eleanor, the author invites us to see the world from Eleanor’s viewpoint. Eleanor refuses to fit the mould of what a noblewoman in the twelfth century was expected to be.
 
“Author Helen Rayson-Hill has drawn upon extensive research for this fascinating and action-packed account of a woman ahead of her times. Unlike most historical records of Eleanor, the author invites us to see the world from Eleanor’s viewpoint. Eleanor refuses to fit the mould of what a noblewoman in the twelfth century was expected to be. She remains true to herself and her inheritance despite a loveless marriage, forced separation from her children, false rumours and kidnapping.” —Susan Pieriotti, author of Manuscript to Market
