Synopsis

Married to King Henry III at a young age, Eleanor of Provence navigates a world fraught with court intrigue and baronial wrath. A devoted mother, she defies the monks to care for her ailing son, future king Edward I. A loyal friend to family members, she incurs the jealousy of the nobles, the anger of the common folk. As Simon de Montfort's popularity rises and Henry's wanes, Eleanor must decipher friend from foe. Will her son Edward free his captive father at Evesham? Will Eleanor’s own legacy endure, or fade away like whispers in the wind?

Today, Eleanor of Provence is lost to time, one of the lesser known English Queens, her gravesite obliterated, its whereabouts forgotten—one of the few English monarchs to have no known tomb. MY FAIR LADY is first person novel written from the viewpoint of Eleanor herself. A woman’s look at her own Queenship and life and loves in the 13th century, at the time of the Second Barons Revolt.
