Aliénor d'Aquitaine

Eleanor of Aquitaine (c. 1122/1124 – 1204) is one of the most powerful and fascinating political figures of medieval Europe. Heiress to the vast Duchy of Aquitaine, she left her mark on history by becoming successively Queen of France and then Queen of England, shaping the geopolitics of Western Europe for centuries to come.

She was also a huge admirator of the courtly love from the region of Aquitaine in the South of France. She supported many poets of the fin’amor.

The ideals were the milky-white skin and rosy cheeks, a high, wide forehead, a small bust (round, firm and small breast), straight nose, soft cheeks, etc...
