520 _a"An exhilarating chronicle of the ruling families of France and England, showing how two dynasties formed one extraordinary story. The twelfth and thirteenth centuries were a time of personal monarchy, when close friendship or petty feuding between royals could determine the course of history. The Capetians of France and the Angevins of England waged war, made peace and intermarried. At times, the lands under the control of the English king reached to within a few miles of Paris, and those ruled by the French house crossed the Channel and encompassed London itself. In this lively, engaging history, Catherine Hanley traces the great clashes, and occasional friendships, of the two dynasties. Along the way, she emphasizes the fascinating and influential women of the houses — including Eleanor of Aquitaine and Blanche of Castile — and shows how personalities and familial bonds shaped the fate of two countries. Bringing a host of remarkable characters to life, this is a tale of two intertwined dynasties that determined the future of England and France."--
