Can you recommend a good history book about Eleanor of Aquitaine?

by dobroezlo

I've recently learnt about Eleanor of Aquitaine while reading Europe: A History by Norman Davies.

My wife is really interested in these kind of strong women in history, so I am looking for a present for her to read more about Eleanor. I've found a couple history books on the subject, but not sure which one is a good one.

It's really important to get a good history book because you don't want the story to be one-sided or biased.

Forgive me if that's not a correct question for this subreddit. I just noticed that people always give good sources when answering questions, so I thought you know your way around history books.

I have not read it yet, but this is the one I have slated for reading, please note though that I am not a historian at all.

Other options: Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Four Kings by Amy Kelly and/or Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Life by Allison Weir

Good Luck and maybe a historian will hop in here and give you a better reference than I could.
