Aliénore d'Aquitaine was a pretty interesting person in the middle ages. We read about her on Wikipedia, it was an interesting tale of the most powerful and wealthy woman back then. While checking out her history we wished that there was a movie about her life, maybe there is, but we didn't look it up and wrote a song about it instead. Bernard de Ventadour, a noted troubadour, called her "gracious, lovely, the embodiment of charm," extolling her "lovely eyes and noble countenance". Imagine this character next to castles, war, intrigue, famine, romance and you get where our song comes from.
