This is a good, concise description of the period. I enjoyed it. (

This is not the best biography of Eleanor, filled with speculation, as well as, pseudo-psychology of mother/son relationships and homosexuality. His history on the One Hundred Years War and biography of Marie Antoinette are much better. (
