Hello all! I'm back with Alienor of Aquitaine! She's finally getting her due! This mini series will be the start of my third season, and speaking of threes, her story will be old in three parts. I'll go over that in the show.

Thank you for your patience! Because I have used so many sources, if you have questions, I'll happily provide them. That said, here are some of the sources I used:
