There are many movies and books about the famous queens of history, and certainly their life is the stuff of romance. Here I’ll try to give you a list of my favourite queens that does not include Elizabeth, Mary Stuart, Catherine the Great or Cleopatra, but queens whose tumultuous love stories I would like to include as a background in my own romance books. And the steamy medieval romance I will soon publish as R.R. Vane, A Stern Knight for My Lady is set during the reign of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, the formidable wife of Henry II.
