Historical Bitches of Awesomeness.
Which is almost certainly exactly what I WON’T be calling the next book. Anyway, you’re getting a rough and unfinished image because I’m home sick from work and scanning involves standing on my hind legs and sitting in the computer chair, and nope.
Anyway, Eleanor of Aquitaine! Regrettable fondness for crusades, which I will semi-forgive on the grounds of cultural context and because she basically used them as a chance to dress up all armor-y and LARP with her best bitches. Dumped one King, married another, things went a little south with him too, but whatever, invented chivalry. Seriously, Eleanor was all, “I find these knight unsightly,” and before you know it they’re dressing up all fancy and playing lutes and whatnot. You do you, Eleanor.
