Love Rules

Did you ever wonder where the practice of love came from? At what point did primitive mankind, whose survival often depended on brutal action, at what point did love become more important. In short when did the warrior become a lover? The twelfth century is the key point in time and this is the person who brought about the romantic change.

There once was a teenage girl in the Middle Ages who became the Queen of France and seduced the King to become Queen of England. After being a leader of the Medieval Second Crusade in the Holy Lands for France she goes on to lead the courts of love for England and Europe. She uses her power of seduction to change history. Her courts of love with the jury of twelve are legendary with knights testing their skills in trials of romance. At the height of her power, her royal husband King Henry II murders Archbishop Thomas Becket. It is this dramatic moment when she is teaching love while her husband is practisng death, that a great battle of the spirit begins. Although Henry closes the court of love and then arrests her and throws her in prison for fifteen years, she outlives her jailer and reenters a world where great romantic tales have been written about her. Her son, Richard Lion heart had vindicated her and Eleanor continues a victorious rule imposing the jury of twelve, restoring honor and love as a framework of civility. She repays him by personally traveling to a dungenon to rescue him from the Germans. As a mother of ten children she becomes the grandmother who manages to place her offspring at the head of every European court.
