Medieval Badass, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine for #AlphabetChallenge theme #WeekRforReligion and #Stunday Exciting times nerding out medieval style. Info in the alt text. #EastCoastKin #ECK #photography #V&A #effigy #medieval #history (iPhone camera)

Photograph taken of the painted plaster effigy of the powerful and beautiful, medieval badass, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (1137 - 1204). This is a reproduction made in 1852-1854 on display in the V&A. The original tomb (1204) is in Fontevrault Abbey, France, which I've visited a few times. The effigy is notably brighter in colour than the original tomb which is hundreds of years older.

Eleanor's other half was first King Louis VII of France, followed by King Henry II of England. She went on crusade to the Holy Land, had eight kids, including Richard the Lionheart (revered but rarely ever here), King John (bad apple) and Eleanor Queen of Castile. Unbefitting of her awesomeness, she dies on April Fool's day if the tinterweb is to be believed.

Image shows an effigy of a sleeping (eternally sleeping) Queen from the collarbone up. She is wearing a beautiful robe with a v-neck, a tall crown and a wimple-veil. She has a narrow nose, thin lips and looks peaceful (more peaceful than she'd have been at court and with eight kids). She is painted bronze/gold. Her head rests on a navy/black cushion, which in turn rests upon a faded red cloak.
