Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Four Kings | 
Okay, I have a lot of books on #royals! Because I've posted pictures before of their shelves, decided to pull them all out and do close-ups. They needed to be better organized anyway! The tagged book is about one of my ancestors. Eleanor of Aquitaine. This is going to be picture 1 of 3 😱.
DivineDiana Wait. Eleanor of Aquitaine is one of your ancestors!?!? 7y
ValerieAndBooks @DivineDiana yep! Cool, isn't it? Two different lines go back to her. My genealogist aunt discovered this after I was already fascinated with the royals. My last actual royal ancestor is Edward II, of which the lineage goes on through a couple of his daughters. 7y
DivineDiana You need a tiara! 👸🏻 7y
Heatheringheights That is some awesome ancestry. She is my favorite royal! No doubt partially because of Katherine Hepburn's amazing portrayal in Lion in Winter. 7y
LauraBrook Wow! Not just for your enviable genealogy, and equally enviable royal books, but because while I own probably half of what's here, you've just added a whole bunch of new titles to my wishlist! 😘😘😘 7y
