EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII of France. The image showcases the grandeur and opulence surrounding this royal union, as depicted in the Chronique de St Denis at Musee Conde, Chantilly. Eleanor's first marriage to Louis VII marked an alliance between two powerful kingdoms, symbolizing political strategy and religious unity. However, their relationship was short-lived, leading to Eleanor's second marriage to Henry Plantagenet, who later became known as Henry II of England. The photograph also highlights another crucial event in Eleanor's life - her embarkation for the Second Crusade that took place from 1147 to 1149. This expedition was not only a military campaign but also held deep religious significance for both French and English royalty. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness these pivotal moments that shaped European history. It serves as a reminder of the intricate web woven by politics, war, religion, and love within medieval society
