No, I'm just thinking about Aquaphor.
Modern day geography, it's like it kind of sits on the border of France and Spain.
So southern France.
Oh, chic.
Yeah.
Yes.
And in Eleanor's time, this was really a strategic place to live because of like wine routes.
And so it's like a really nice and warm and sunny place.
Lots of really good wine, lots of really good food.
Lots of people want to live there.
So what I also want you to picture in your head is whoever owns this land, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching, because it's a really good route to live on.
So what I'm getting at is the people that own this land, i.e.
her family, are
money money money like they are well-to-do people her dad is the duke of aquitaine and her dad is loaded we love to see it yeah we really do love to see it a little heiress action
Yes, she is the wealthiest heiress in Europe.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
So where she is living in Aquitaine, the weather is nice, the wine is flowing, and it's a cultural hub of music and poetry and literature.
It kind of sits in this interesting spot that's in between, like,
Europe, where you're thinking like France and like Spain and kind of more like it's just like a really interesting place that just sits at the crossroads of different cultures.
