Pimlico Books, publishers, London - first paperback edition ISBN:0712673172, 2000. paperback, 5" x 7¾. Book in GOOD condition. Eleanor married in turn Louis VII of France and Henry II of England, and was the mother of Richard the Lionheart and King John. She lived to be 82, but it was only in old age that she triumphed over the adversities and tragedies of her earlier years and became virtual ruler of England. By careful research, Alison Weir has produced a vivid biography with a fresh and provocative perspective on this extraordinary woman [in Eleanor's lifetime there were rumours about her that were not without substance]. Eleven b&w photographs, bibliography, genealogical tables, and index.
