La Vérité Cachée sur les Banquets d'Aliénor d'Aquitaine
Imagine the most powerful woman of the Middle Ages, Queen of France and then of England: Eleanor of Aquitaine. In this new immersive documentary, we open the doors to her lavish banquets... only to reveal their darkest and most repugnant side. Far from romantic clichés, discover how the elite ate with their fingers on stale bread, why expensive spices were used to mask the taste of spoiled meat, and how the floors of castles concealed unimaginable filth. But beyond the food, it is the fate of the women of that era that will shock you. Even Eleanor, the richest woman in Europe, was not exempt from the cruel rule of the Middle Ages: her body was only good for bearing a son. Discover how her independence cost her 15 years in prison.
