She managed to secure a divorce from the king of France and become her own woman, then she marries the king of England and gives him several tiger cubs, then gets imprisoned by the English king.........and still she has the last laugh later in life. I imagine her as a woman with a will of iron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-74942917516917240082010-01-09T19:53:05.697-05:002010-01-09T19:53:05.697-05:00Thank you, Lucy -- and thank you Heather, for post...Thank you, Lucy -- and thank you Heather, for posting the guest essay, and for finding such great images to illustrate it.<br /><br />I've loved Eleanor ever since I was in 5th grade, and yet, once you've seen her portrayed by the incomparable Katharine HepBurn in THE LION IN WINTER (rent it! rent it!) you can't help but picture her as Eleanor whenever you read anything about her!Leslie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024567064317102889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-75642295336966637452010-01-09T18:36:57.966-05:002010-01-09T18:36:57.966-05:00She certainly was a woman whay ahead of her times!...She certainly was a woman whay ahead of her times! I've had my moments about Eleanor (depending on who amnd what I read). She was either the woman I rooted for - or I detested. I've since come to terms with that and opted for the Eleanor that has no fear to represent the extent of a woman's power. I absolutely LOVE this post.
