À propos de cet audio

Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine are two of the most recognisable figures of the Middle Ages, and almost certainly the best-known couple. The lives of their sons have been examined in detail many times, but their daughters are barely known despite the influence they exerted on the world around them. Joanna, the youngest daughter, led an extraordinary life full of travel, adventure, danger, and controversy. Her story is told here in full for the first time.

Catherine Hanley's biography of Joanna, based on primary sources, unfolds a fascinating life that shines a light on the life of a medieval princess with its arranged marriages and other trials. Joanna's adventures are many and varied and Hanley describes them well. A noble woman's experience is illuminated in other episodes and the book makes it easy to see both how women wielded power and were wielded like power by the men in their lives. Recommended.

A fascinating life
