The Angevins-English Monarchs-Henry II-Richard the Lionheart-John-Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine

The real faces of the Angevin Kings of England. The Angevins were a royal house of French origin that ruled England, and half of France, in the 12th and early 13th centuries. Its monarchs were Henry II, Richard I the Lionheart and John. Also for the very first time we look at the face of Eleanor of Aquitaine the Queen of England, the wife of Henry II and the mother of Richard and John. Eleanor was one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in western Europe, who ruled the even larger territory to the south of France called Aquitaine. Showing attention to detail, the faces of Richard and John were given a more realistic touch ignoring all popular beliefs and misconceptions regarding their psychical appearance. Some scenes taken from the movies: Kingdom of Heaven (2005), and Robin Hood (2010).
