A girl who inherited the richest duchy in Europe at fifteen, rode on crusade to Jerusalem, walked away from one crown and picked up another, raised a king called Lionheart, spent sixteen years as her own husband's prisoner, and then, past seventy, ruled England in all but name, ransomed her son from an emperor, and crossed the Pyrenees in her old age to fetch the granddaughter who would become the mother of a saint. She outlived two husbands, eight of her ten children, and every rival she ever had, and died at peace, a nun at the abbey of Fontevraud.\nReal history for sleep: a real human voice, sources listed below, no mid roll ads, and nothing sudden. The story ends softly around the 61 minute mark and the fireside continues in the dark until the third hour. Black screen friendly.\nChapters:\n0:00 Welcome\n4:08 The Girl Who Inherited the South\n9:33 Queen of France\n12:35 The Road to Jerusalem\n21:14 Eight Weeks in Spring\n25:42 Queen of England\n30:50 The Court at Poitiers\n34:01 Sixteen Years\n41:09 By the Wrath of God\n47:50 The Last Mountains\n54:44 Fontevraud\n57:55 Drifting\n61:05 Fireside until morning\nListen with the video on YouTube: add the episode link.\nNew episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6pm Eastern.
