Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In The Young Life Mark Richard Beaulieu has revealed the rich world of young Eleanor of Aquitaine (Alienor d'Aquitaine 1124-1204), who would twice become a queen - to Louis as Queen of France, and to Henry as Queen of England. This historical fiction weaves the never told story of Alienor, a girl who doesn't know she can change the world; yet as a woman she will, in a fundamental way. Freshly told stories of exploration, romance, and hard truth about striving young men and women fill this first volume of an epic series bound to delight readers of every age. The unusually prosperous Aquitaine is surrounded by envious lords. Wealth affords what is nonexistent in medieval Europe - children are allowed to play, receive education, and experience toleration for faith, art, and science. At the unique Fontevrault Abbey, started by Alienor's family, men and women live in balance. At the abbey-school girls alongside boys learn the medieval skills of invention, poetic song, falconing, bird messaging, 'dictonic' speech, and rational thought. Encouraged to have curious minds, her young friends become attracted to what authorities will oppose: Alienor's pursuit of a personal code centered on love - not what many commonly understand as love, but her idea and practice of it. She astounds convention. How she comes to terms with the many forces of her age becomes her code, leading her to become one of the most powerful and enigmatic women of the middle ages.Living in the shadow of a favored younger brother, Alienor adventures into the backwoods and rivers with new friends. She makes the terrible discovery that a friend's innocent father is thrown into a dungeon for a secret court of inquisition. It is the beginning of her story, and the Aquitaine, indeed the world, will never be the same.----In development fourteen years and based on the latest scholarly research, this story significantly update earlier accounts, and answers how did Eleanor of Aquitaine become herself? She and her young friends come across challenges that many a young person faces and resolves them in original ways - leading to the creation of the Eleanor Code.----Note: 1) This book was formerly titled as ALIENOR: THE YOUNG LIFE OF ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE. 2) This edition was edited November 201.…

Set in the historically rich 12th century, the young French Queen brings her culture into conflicted Paris, where she will become a mother. Developing her court, she leads an army on an amazing journey of personal destinations. With a unique view of the world, parentless Eleanor is brought East into Paris. Married to King Louis the Seventh at age 13, Eleanor is not allowed to bring her Aquitaine chevaliers, troubadours, or friends. She runs up against the French Court, a reigning Queen, and a dark city of obedient religion. Outside of Paris, a new cathedral is built of glowing walls of stained glass, run by Abbot Adam Suger. He is in conflict with austere Abbot Bernard of Clairvaux, the nemesis of Eleanor's family. In the division of faith, Eleanor takes sides, but not as you might expect in this contest for power.

Upholding her sister's marriage and dealing with factions that battle to divide the realm, the queen and king are swept up into the French civil war.

As a spirited crusader, the young French queen and mother must fight for all she believes in. Survival becomes paramount to endure an ill-conceived war in treacherous Outremer and to sail the dangerous voyage home.Coming ashore in Antioch after horrific losses where only one in twenty survives, Eleanor must overcome despair. Meanwhile, Louis, who has lost most of his army, tours holy shrines. A barge sent by King Raymond invites her to sail up the restorative Orontes river. Her court urges her forward to discover the exotic ways of a rich desert culture. Louis and Eleanor come into a dramatic confrontation over the crusade mission, but actions far deeper are taking place by forces that have called the holy war.This begins the story of a layered world as complex as Eleanor, where armed political struggle, divisive religion, medieval beliefs, and passions compound.
