Duchess, Mother, Queen & Lover: Imagining Eleanor of Aquitaine

Aquitaine Soirée: from Lascaux to Bordeaux (2/5)
Thursday, February 11th at 5 PM Eastern Time

Sex, scandal, scheming and sequestration all play a part in the life of one of the most remarkable and influential women of the Middle Ages. Duchess of Aquitaine at fifteen, Eleanor went on to be queen of both France and England, and mother to two kings.

Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:

Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded.  The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.
