💞👑 Eleanor of Aquitaine — The Queen Who Ruled Through Love and War 📜😴 | History for Sleep
Unwind to a calm, sleep-friendly portrait of Eleanor of Aquitaine—duchess, twice a queen, and mother of kings—who moved gently yet decisively through the politics of medieval Europe. In soft, even narration, we travel from Aquitaine’s courts of song and charter rooms to the roads of the Second Crusade; from a Paris marriage that ended in annulment to the wide Angevin world she helped shape with Henry II. We notice quiet textures rather than clamor: parchment folded with seals, riders changing horses at dusk, a chapel where negotiations pause, a coffer of letters tied with ribbon. We linger on governance and family—her work as duchess, the education of children, the great revolt of 1173–74 and years of guarded seclusion, the careful diplomacy of a mother releasing Richard to a crown, ransoms raised, dowries arranged, and embassies sent in her name. In old age she still travels monasteries and border towns, choosing foundations, witnessing charters, and steadying succession. This is not a tale of noise, but of durable influence carried in letters, alliances, and journeys across an empire of roads and rivers.
