My Fair Lady: Henry III's Lost Queen (Medieval Babes Book 1)

Description

Eleanor of Provence, bright, beautiful, intelligent—married as a young girl to the much older Henry III, King of England. A marriage surprisingly happy, with the king pouring wealth upon his young wife’s relatives . . . and incurring the wrath of the Barons. Simon de Montfort is leading a faction against the king, unhappy with his rule and seeking to limit his power, and soon Eleanor finds her husband and eldest son are imprisoned. Can she raise an army in time to save them? No matter what, there will be a bloody reckoning at the Battle of Evesham.

Eleanor, devoted mother, who fought the will of the monks to stay in a monastery and nurse her sick son, the future Edward I.

Eleanor, caught in court intrigue, with the powerful, disturbing Baron, Simon de Montfort, looming at every turn—friend or foe?

Or what else?

Eleanor, attacked while on a barge passing under London Bridge, as the kingdom seems to slip away from her and Henry.

Eleanor in victory, de Montfort slain at Evesham by her son’s mighty forces. But there is a price to pay.

Eleanor, a widow, seeking peace after so many years of strife, ending her days in Amesbury Priory in the shadow of Stonehenge, a convent thought in Eleanor’s time to be the final refuge of Queen Guinevere, whose legends the queen had ever loved.
