I know! I'm super priveleged to be living with someone who is descended from Eleanor of Aquitaine who is without a doubt the most awesomely powerful meddling queen in European history ever!
Catherine of Aragon is my favourite of Henry's poor wives. Katherine Swynford is another fascinating woman. She was John of Gaunt's long time mistress and eventual wife and also the sister-in-law of Chaucer. Both sides of the War of the Roses are descended from her.

Sorry will stop geeking out now
