Description

During the 1970s, I wrote the original version of The Six Wives of Henry VIII - 1000 pages long, single spaced, and typed on both sides of the paper - and had it rejected on the grounds that there was a world paper shortage!

They discuss the dismal progress of the crusade, then THIERRY, with an extravagant show of reluctance, asks LOUIS if he has heard the rumours about Eleanor. She has been seen as a champion of free love because for a long time she refused marriage, believing that men and women should give themselves freely to each other without enslavement; as a rebel who defied God Himself; and as an early champion of the liberation of women. ELEANOR'S VOICE describes the pure lust she felt at that moment, and how she knew it was reciprocated. Some discussion with DANGEROSA follows, then ALL PLAYERS exit as a mighty chord from a cathedral organ rings out as the roses are removed from the backdrop and the altar is moved to centre stage.The actor will portray Becket - once the monarch's closest friend and political ally - in a new adaptation by Frederic Raphael of Jean Anouilh's play, Becket. Two of her children, the future kings Richard and John, were born at Beaumont Palace, Oxford, which stood opposite the present Worcester College at the end of Beaumont Street.

Weir`s rendering of events is valuable as a revision of earlier biographies…detailed and convincing…impressive in its breadth and clarity…[A] cogent and fascinating book.In 1981 I put forward an idea for a biography of the Princess of Wales but it was considered too short to be a commercial venture, and that people would lose interest in her! Much of what we know about Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of France and then Queen of England, we know from recorded rumor—gossip often qualified by the curious phrase “it was said,” or the love songs, ballads, and romances that gossip inspired. These heads, from the porch of the twelfth/thirteenth century church of Candes St Martin, between Chinon and Fontevrault, are thought to represent Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, and date from c. At the same time, LOUIS OF FRANCE, a timid boy of 16, enters from the right, followed by three KNIGHTS. She was highly sexed, and had a number of scandalous love affairs, including incestuous ones, while she was married to Louis, who was too monk-like to satisfy her.
