    eleanor of aquitaine. interesting stuff aside i'm not quite sure why it was such a bestseller. bit too much of a roll of dates and not enough interpretation.

      That's why the Internet's floor doesn't have bits of fluff on it on Friday night.

        They do it on Friday night because their parents come to visit on Saturday.

          i wanted more details. better notes. more scandal and juicy stuff. details of the battles. i guess i need a decent biography of henry rather than his wife for that.

                i mean your father goes to war with the french king and what do you do? oh yeah thats right - side with the frenchies... stir up the barons against your dad. oh and fight your brothers at the same time.

                  and then when your money runs out (or you get a good kicking from your dad) what do you do - that's right crawl back crying like babies (they all did) and promise to behave.

                      and then while he goes off to give the french king a good kicking you all plot behind his back again.
