What reading level is Eleanor of Aquitaine: the Mother Queen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps she did not realize that her child-bearing days were over; and if she did, she may well have been glad. Now she regained her full energies, and her magnificent constitution was unimpaired. It seems that she and Henry never again slept together. There were other reasons too why John’s birth marked the end of their marriage.Henry II was a man of strong sexual appetites. He fathered at least two bastards before his marriage: one was William ‘Long-sword’, who became earl of Salisbury; the ot...her was Geoffrey ‘Plantagenet’ — the son of a common whore called Ykenai — whom he tried to make bishop of Lincoln and who was later his chancellor and eventually archbishop of York. An item in the Pipe Rolls seems to refer to another mistress: ‘For clothes and hoods and cloaks and for the trimming for two capes of samite and for the clothes of the queen and of Bellebelle.’ Unfortunately nothing is known of the promisingly named Bellebelle. In the 1160s there was a nasty accusation by a rebellious Breton vassal, Eudo de Porhoet, that the king had seduced his daughter when she was his hostage.
