Well, I mean, listen, I was literally named after the woman.
I never had a choice in my destiny.
Anything that happened.

Of course, I was going to become obsessed with her.
Of course.
My mother was reading a book about her when she was pregnant with me.
birth from the beginning was it clear she was someone's but there was a lot riding on it she was an heiress absolutely you know she is born into one of the most important land holding families in france so aquitaine at the time it's essentially all of southwestern france okay so aquitaine's a glorious place yep we are talking what so around bordeaux south and west
It goes a little bit further east than you would think.
And it goes a little bit further north than you would think.
You know, when we tend to talk about it, we say, oh, southwestern France.
But Poitiers, the capital, is actually really kind of central.
And so, yeah, I mean, culturally it is southern, but now you wouldn't call Poitiers southern France, I don't think.

It's got incredibly important prestige.

So she's born into this very particularized milieu.
And it's also a little bit different from other places.
