“If she were truly as depicted by Hepburn in The Lion in Winter, Henry should’ve hanged her”
this is a funny joke, but it is a bit tough to want to blame Eleanor for what she looked like in a movie made when she had been dead for 764 years .........
You’ve got to feel sorry for Henry. Nevertheless, he succeeded in his rule despite Eleanor, his madcap son Richard, devious son John, plotting priests, demanding Crusaders, unhappy land barons, and London merchants ranged against him.
