The Royal Jester

Plot

In 1180, fourteen year old Eleanor Maude played a minstrel and jester and travelled as entertainer with her juggler friend Anne Paston. But not only was Eleanor a jester she was also the daughter of King Henry II!

Notes

  • Clearly a fictionalised version of Eleanor, she also would have been 19 years old rather than 14 in the time the story is set.
