[French] - Aliénor d'Aquitaine: Édition Élèves & Enseignants

"Jeune fille, Aliénor était le parti le plus recherché de toute la Chrétienté… et pas seulement à cause de sa beauté. Fille aînée du duc Guillaume X d'Aquitaine, elle avait hérité de son immense duché à l'âge de 15 ans et fut couronnée reine des Francs la même année. Mais l'amour ne fut pas au rendez-vous pour cette magnifique duchesse, malgré deux mariages et dix enfants. Pourtant les troubadours chantèrent ses louanges, composèrent pour elle les premières chansons d'amour courtois, et c'est en son honneur que furent déclamées pour la première fois les légendes du roi Arthur et des chevaliers de la table ronde. Aliénor façonna deux empires naissants et fit de l'Aquitaine l'alliée de l'Angleterre la plus fiable sur le continent. Aliénor d'Aquitaine fut une légende à son époque, elle l'est encore à la nôtre. Voici son histoire. L'édition Étudiant et Enseignant contient des questions d'étude pour chaque chapitre."

Margaret of Wessex: Mother, Saint, and Queen of Scots

"The 11th century was a dangerous time to be of the line unbroken of King Æthelred II Unread and his first queen, Æfgifu of York. Born in Hungary after King Canute III's failed attempt to murder her father, Edward the Exile, Margaret found her life turned upside down by King Edward the Confessor's discovery of her father's survival -- and the resulting recall of her family to England. Now a political hostage only kept alive for as long as it served powerful men's interests, Margaret and her family found King Máel Coluim mac Donnchadh Ceann Mhor (Malcolm III Canmore)'s invitation to his court in Dunfermline in Alba the long-awaited answer to her prayers. Scotland would never be the same again."

Mary Queen of the Scots: The Forgotten Reign

"Queen Mary Stuart was one of the most beloved and controversial women in Scottish history. The granddaughter of King James IV and his wife Margaret Tudor, Queen Mary's status as heiress-apparent to Queen Elizabeth's throne in England paired with the violence of the Scottish Reformation set the stage for one of the most dramatic and poorly understood lives of the 16th century. Mary Queen of the Scots tells Mary's true story, focusing primarily on her reign as queen of Scotland, celebrating her life more than her death and showing us all why she was truly a woman ahead of her time. Features period music and a special music appendix expertly performed by Steven Vox."
