The first woman to ask for divorce and lead an army, Eleanor of Aquitaine lived until she was 82 (pretty good considering most died in their 40s). She got a formal education, which was really rare for women in that era. There are rumours that she poisoned her second husband Henry II’s mistress, the Fair Rosamund.
This lady’s bad-ass.
eleanor of aquitaine is my favourite

Well she was also the most powerfull feudal landowner of her time. She was badass.
Was it all going very well until I turned up? I’m sorry…
