Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Deserts of Southern France, Vol. 2 of 2: An Introduction to the Limestone and Chalk Plateaux of Ancient Aquitaine
Eleanor had been brought up in an unwholesome atmosphere of false sentiment and lax morals, and was reared to look with indifferent eye on the sufferings of humanity, to consider adulation as her due, and warfare as the occupation for men to afford amusement to ladies.
The name of Guyenne is a corruption of Aquitaine.l The duchy extended from the Loire to the Pyrenees, from the Bay of Biscay to the Auvergne mountain range.
