The Summer Queen by Elizabeth Chadwick

 


The Summer Queen is suited to lovers of historical fiction based on real historical figures.  It is the first of a trilogy about Eleanor of Aquitaine and deals with her marriage to King Louis of France (when she was only 13), then to Henry of Normandy up to the point she becomes Queen of England.

 

It was published 8 years ago and the other books in the trilogy, The Winter Crown and The Autumn Throne are also in print.  I'm looking forward to completing the series.
