Dan Snow's History Hit · Eleanor of Aquitaine · 13 Apr 2026 podcast

She is still fundamentally the Queen of England.

You can't, like, throw her in a jail.

So she gets taken to one of her very, very favorite castles, which is just outside of Salisbury, Old Sarum.

And they're basically like, you are under house arrest, right?

Eleanor, not a huge fan of this.

Obviously, she would rather be in Poitiers.

Obviously, she would rather be doing her thing.

And she loses the ability to regulate her own lands.

But as part of this, Henry forgives the sons.

And so this could be something that Eleanor negotiates, I would argue.

You know, I don't think that she wanted to be taken captive at all whatsoever.

But seeing how the cards have been laid out, I do think that she says, look, you've got me banged to rights.

Yes, I was encouraging our sons to rebel against you, but you've got me.

And so a great thing that you could do just for the stability of everything is you could just let the boys go.

You've got me.

Blame it on me.

And everybody loves to blame a woman, right?

So, basically, Eleanor goes to jail, and the boys kind of get on with their life.

They will do some light rebelling.

They will rebel again.
