Ive read and heard some really great things about her life and her character - very strong for a woman in the Middle Ages.

And I have to agree with Russophile - 'A Lion in Winter' is a great movie. Katherine Hepburn is the only person who could ever be Eleanor!
Eleanor was also a very beautiful woman.
He father made sure she was well educated for a woman in the Middle Ages.
I only know of two books written about her in recent years.
