fuckyeahhistorycrushes: The first woman to ask for divorce and lead an army, Eleanor of Aquitaine lived until she was 82 (pretty good considering most died in their 40s). She got a formal education, which was really rare for women in that era. There are rumours that she poisoned her second husband Henry II’s mistress, the Fair Rosamund. This lady’s bad-ass. AUGH I have loved Eleanor since I was in 5th grade I did my medieval unit project on her what a badass
