Eleanor of Aquitaine is possibly the most interesting woman of the Middle Ages. Many believe that she was the inspiration for many of the Holy Grail legends written in this period, and she certainly was one of the leading patrons of the minnesingers and artists of Occitan France and Castillian Spain. Sadly, it was her sons and not her daughters who would bear her legacy (though if you can find some histories of Eleanor and Alfonso of Castile, or even more intriguing Joan and Raymond of Toulouse, both are remarkable in their own right). If she had succeeded in convincing Richard to forego the Crusades and instead build the family's power base in Southern France, not only might the history of Western Europe look much different, but so might the history of the Catholic Church.

I barely know a source of honest information people left in the entire world. Klagemauer is the last one maybe. globalresearch went along with the christrchurch fake it seems, so we lost them too. Luke Rudowsky is still going, but those are youngsters and not always watchable for me when they get childish, though Luke is ok I guess. This was fully to be expected. It will get a lot worse.

@@michellegoodman2007 Thank You & Merci beaucoup. Yes, from my mother's side. Rikhard the 3rds mother's mitocondrial dna, and naturally his father's genes as well. It ain't to be seen in the maternal dna though. Also the dna recently told that from my father's side I'm not a finn at all, as expected, but from the northern France, Anjou area, centuries, maybe milleniums ago.

How can the BBC produce such a brilliant documentary and not have it closed captioned for the deaf. So we can’t hear; we certainly can read! From USA

@Stephanie Logan abnormality or impairment in the function of a specified bodily organ or system. "bowel dysfunction" "family?" Any other reference you might be using, or do you mean no family is perfect? Power is one wicked temptation however, and I have never had it so I don't know for certain what it would be like. Poor Henry paid a heavy price for his though eh?

Actually the Game of Thrones is more in align to the War of the Roses. Lancastrians vs. Yorkists.

This is a great presentation, I really enjoyed it, thank you!

Wonderfully done

I have enjoyed this documentary , thank you .

What I love about these is seeing how when a monarch or powerful person goes too far, the people revolt and make them pay for it......

Right? I am as well. I had a great book on it that I loved so much in high school I stole it from the school library. There’s just something so intense and captivating about how modern proper England came out of a time as bloody and insane as this.

Where is the glory in any of this ? Greed, power hungry and debauchery. And still we have not learned . Amazing.

Fantastic, epic history. So complex and yet done so well.

Matilda was fierce, it takes the blood of William I to escape captivity and trudge through ice and snow and still survive . The Male Machine tends to toss aside strong women in history and I’ve always loved Matilda, that was a real OG there .

I was just trying to take a nap watching a nice documentary but this is too intense! Mathilda crawling through ice escaping an army! And Eleanor evading kidnappers to marry the king of her dreams and get revenge on her obnoxious ex! The medieval times were definitely more fun than the 21th century

Saved me some time reading and researching. What a fascinating historical dynasty.
