Eleanor of Aquitaine, was one of the most famous, intelligent and desired women of the twelfth century.
It is May 18, 1152, between expanses of uncontaminated woods and meadows, difficult for us to imagine, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II Plantagenet get married, giving life to a kingdom of enormous proportions and indisputable power.
Eleanor of Aquitaine had witnessed the war by participating in the second crusade with her first husband, King Louis VII of France. She was the granddaughter of William IX of Aquitaine, considered the first of the troubadours, and was herself a scholar and patron. Jaufré Rudel was one of the many troubadours in her entourage during the overseas crusade and many of the greatest poets and musicians of her time, whose fame has come down to the present day, frequented her court. Eleanor received French, German and Italian singers every spring in her fiefdom in Poitiers, as well as her numerous sons and daughters, including Richard the Lionheart, John Lackland and Marie of France who had founded a literary circle with the mother of she. Maria was also the protector of Chrétien de Troyes who dedicated her “Lancelot, the knight of the cart” to her.
In one of these spring meetings, the troubadour Bertrand de Born dedicated a song to Eleanor in which he swore to her that Tristan himself had suffered not so much for the love of Isolde as for her, her beautiful Queen Eleanor. Eleanor of Aquitaine tried to bring the music and culture of courtly love, which now flourished in southern Europe, in the distant English lands of her husband with whom she did not have a good relationship, since she supported the rebellion of their children towards her father, the latter who imprisoned her in a tower fearing her danger and her influence in the European courts. In this video I used some photos of the Palace of Poitiers, now empty and cold but full of music and people when the Queen had her court of love. Those walls heard the voices of artists such as Marcabru, Jaufré Rudel, Bertrand de Born ... I also used some photos of Alienor’s tomb in Frontevraud abbey. The manuscript used is a psalter that belonged to the queen herself and in which she is depicted, elderly at that time, but always beautiful.
