About the Books The Summer Queen opens in 1137, tracing Eleanor's privileged Aquitaine childhood through the upheaval following her father's death, as she is thrust unexpectedly toward marriage and power. Chadwick's careful research and narrative flair capture the making of a woman destined to shape the course of European history. The Winter Crown moves forward to 1154, as Eleanor becomes Queen of England alongside the formidable Henry II. While Henry campaigns and schemes across his territories, Eleanor proves herself a capable ruler and devoted mother, all the while yearning for greater influence than her position as consort allows. The Autumn Throne follows Eleanor after years of imprisonment at Henry's hands, freed only by his death. Facing the fallout of his rivalrous sons and fractured alliances across Europe, Eleanor crosses the Alps, negotiates treaties, and fights to ransom her beloved son Richard — a testament to her enduring courage. Together, the trilogy offers one of the most compelling fictional portraits of Eleanor of Aquitaine available today, blending scholarly rigour with genuinely absorbing storytelling.
