You may be thinking we’ve already heard this story before, but not like this. Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the most notorious women in history, and her story was so insane that we decided we had to tell it twice. Join us for Eleanor of Aquitaine: the early years. Duchess by the age of thirteen, Queen by fifteen and Crusader by twenty-five, Eleanor was a woman that defied all convention and determined to have her name etched in the history books right from the start.

In this episode we revisit her story and follow Eleanor as she blazed a trail of scandal and infamy from Paris to the Holy Lands. We bring you Eleanor of Aquitaine The (possibly bare-breasted; definitely armored) Crusader Queen of France and her scandalous (or not) relationship with Uncle Raymond and her useless husband Louis *ahem* King Louis VII of France.
