I have h...Interesting post, might have to share it! I have heard of the story of Edward and Eleanor before, and of the Eleanor Crosses. He truly did seem to love her deeply- which just goes to show that arranged marriages of convenience could turn into love matches. <br /><br />As to them having lived apart for first few years of their marriage, I think they may have simply been following church law, which I believe stipulated that a marriage could not be consummated until the girl was at least 12, or that the partners could not live together until she was 16. It was something like that according to what I have heard anyway. <br /><br />Personally, Edward I is one of those maligned historical figures whom I seem to be quite interested in, and question whether he really was as bad as he is made out to be. <br />Though he did have all the Jews expelled from England, and that was certainly bad- and it seems to have been after the expulsion that Eleanor died and other things seemed to have star going awry for him. <br />It is almost as though the promise of God to Abraham and his descendants that he would "bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you" was being fulfilled....English Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806974885775295349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-88971166665827387262013-03-09T12:13:58.216-05:002013-03-09T12:13:58.216-05:00Using an online randomizer, I've assigned the ...Using an online randomizer, I've assigned the winners of Kindle copies of <i>DawnSinger (Tales of Faeraven 1)</i>.

There is nothing better than a love story with kings and queens but to read about two real rulers who truly were head over heels in love with each other is so refreshing! Too many times the "marriage of convenience" went sour - to hear of a king who did not have a mistress is noble indeed!
