{"product_id":"9780099534587","title":"The Captive Queen by Alison Weir","description":"It is the year 1152, and a beautiful woman rides through France, fleeing her crown, her two young daughters and a shattered marriage.   Her husband, Louis of France has been more monk than monarch, and certainly not a lover.  Now  Eleanor of Aquitaine has one sole purpose: to return to her duchy and marry the man she loves, Henry Plantagenet, destined for greatness as King of England. It will be a union founded on lust, renowned as one of the most vicious marriages in history, and it will go on to forge a great empire and a devilish brood. This is a story of the making of nations, and of passionate conflicts: between Henry II and Thomas Becket; between Eleanor and Henry's formidable mother Matilda; between father and sons, as Henry's children take up arms against him -  and finally between Henry and Eleanor herself.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56224104481141,"sku":"9780099534587","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780099534587.jpg?v=1762221434","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780099534587","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
