Eleanor of Aquitaine: Christmas Courts and Coronations (ep 85) Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

I’m kicking off the holiday season with a quick discussion of one of my favorite Christmas movies…The Lion in Winter!

Though a series of Christmas celebrations, Eleanor developed from being a young girl in Aquitaine to Queen Consort of France, then to wife of the heir to the English throne, then Queen Consort of England and mother of a growing royal family. Even spending 16 Christmases in captivity couldn’t keep Eleanor down, and she joined the family for that famous Christmas court in 1184. After outliving both royal husbands, Eleanor was the center of celebrations through the reign of Richard I, where she used her considerable talents to promote and secure his rule and his reputation. Even in retirement, she continued to carve out a legacy, leaving monuments to the Plantagenet empire that would change the face of England and Europe for centuries to come.
Huge shoutout to the extraordinary work of Elizabeth Chadwick about Eleanor!

The changing monarchy is much like the changing royal services of Thanksgiving. From the first Elizabeth to the second, so much has changed. But public appreciation for Queen and country continues to inspire.

Summary
For Henry VII, the battle for the English throne didn't end at Bosworth. Nathen Amin explains how some Yorkist supporters rallied behind two significant attempts to topple the Tudors before the dynasty had a chance to take hold. It wasn't until the end of his reign that Henry VII could look back and see the results of his attempt to establish a new dynasty.
