The sheer force of will that was Eleanor of Aquitaine has been the source of many a salacious tale. But what is real and what is embellishment? Eleanor’s wealth and land made her Europe’s most eligible bachelorette and a tempting damsel to snatch up. But she proved every bit as difficult for her would-be captors as she did the kings she would go on to marry. History’s singular Queen Consort to both France and England, Eleanor inspired many a tale of scandal wherever she went. Eleanor was the definition of difficult and the standard to which all future Difficult Damsels will be held. And your hosts Rachel and Kat end with an in-depth conversation about what is a soulmate!
