Hello everyone! This episode discusses the relationship between William IX, Duke of Aquitaine and his mistress, Dangereuse. They are each a grandparent of the one and only, Aliénore of Aquitaine (she's her maternal grandmother, and William is her paternal grandfather). Please join me in discussing how they shaped the future of Europe - particularly England and France.
