you get my brownie points for the day. i've admired eleanor of aquitaine since i had to pretend to be her in fifth grade when we researched and performed as an historical persona. what a woman, i mean really. queen (twice!), head of huge territorial holdings that were coveted by all and snatched by none, went off on the crusades, patroness of the arts, strong, feisty, unconventional, and all while living in the middle ages. she blows my mind.
