{"product_id":"duchess-of-aquitaine-a-novel-of-eleanor-9780312369484","title":"Duchess of Aquitaine: A Novel of Eleanor","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautiful and brilliant, Eleanor is the daughter of the duke of Aquitaine, whose glittering court is the twelfth-century birthplace of courtly love. For all of the duke's boasts that Eleanor has the brains of a man and the soul of a warrior, everyone knows that a girl of fifteen cannot possibly hold the richest dukedom in France. Everyone, that is, except her dying father, who insists on leaving Eleanor his most valuable provinces---and making her prey to the first baron who rides in to kidnap her. \u003cbr\u003eEleanor, though, is not content to sit idly by and let herself become a victim, and devises a plan to marry the heir to the throne of France. While her alliance to Louis VII may be a dazzling one, her husband is a cautious man whose wit and courage do not always match Eleanor's own, and she ultimately finds herself seeking an even greater match with Henry II of England. Sweeping from the courts of Paris to the perils of the Crusades, \u003ci\u003eDuchess of Aquitaine\u003c\/i\u003e gloriously illuminates the life of one of the most powerful, resourceful, and fascinating women in all of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Ball\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312369484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Ball\u003c\/b\u003e, whose previous works include bestselling novels written with Anne McCaffrey, as well as \u003ci\u003eEmbeadery, \u003c\/i\u003ea guide to using classic embroidery stitches in beadwork, lives in Austin, Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39955426574451,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_964db004-ff2d-4e79-9e45-9002c2bf321d.jpg?v=1648651675","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/duchess-of-aquitaine-a-novel-of-eleanor-9780312369484","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
