Dangereuse: Grandmother of Eleanor of Aquitaine
Listing Details
Dangereuse is not an ordinary medieval woman. Red-haired, headstrong and fiercely intelligent, she shocks the nobility of her time...especially when she abandons her husband and children to be the mistress of William of Aquitaine, the Troubadour Lord. William's repudiated wife, Philippa, will not let the matter rest, however, nor will the Duke's angry son, William. So Dangereuse devises a wedding--her daughter, Aenor, must marry young William. From this union is born the most famous woman of medieval Europe--Eleanor of Aquitaine.
