wiki post number 1:
 * 1) Eleanor and Louis were betrothed later than most people at that time. Eleanor was not betrothed until later because her grandfather and father believed that they were going to live forever, which shows how arrogant and stuck-up her family was. Abbot Sugar said, "because her father and grandfather believed they would live forever."(Konigsburg 20) Louis did not get betrothed until later because he had an older brother who was to be king, so it did not really matter if he got married or not. But, his older brother died and it was his place now to become theking.
 * 2) There were a lot of decisions made in this book made my Louis and Eleanor that would both positively and negatively effect people. Louis decided to make another crusade, it was good for Eleanor because she got to travel with him, but it was also bad because many people died and were injured in the bloody and rough crusades. Eleanor decided to go with Louis on the crusade. Eleanor says to Abbot Sugar, "I want to go on Crusade."(Konigsburg 47). It was good for her because she got to visit places like Constantinople and see a lot of beautiful things, which she loved dearly. Also, it made Louis more comfortable around her, he was no longer afraid to stand up to her and get angry with her. It also effected her daughter because she was not with her for her first few years growing up.

Divine Justice is a lot like karma. In the book it basically means that if you do not get punished for something you should have gotten punished for, you will be punished, and in this case, with death. Abbot Bernard thinks that Geoffrey died due to divine justice because he did the opposite of what he should, and he kept prisoners hostage that did not do anything. If divine justice really did exist then it would effect many people. Because if you decide to do something bad, then end up getting away with it, you may die. That would not only effect you, but also your friends and family. So, you have to really be careful when you are making big decisions because if you choose the wrong one it can really come back at you.

Eleanor and Matilda Empress do not like the idea of Becket being appointed Arch Bisshop. They do not like it because he will always side with the church and not Henry. Becket is very religious and if there is ever an argument between Henry and the church Becket would not help out Henry because he would be supporting the church's side. Henry wants him to be the Arch Bishop because of his money and land. It will most likely end up not working in the end because Becket will not defend Henry. 

Wiki post #3 Queen Eleanor and King Henry had very different ways of mentoring and teaching their sons. Queen Eleanor thought that her son that she mentored should have some power and responsibility before he rules a place. King Henry, her husband did not like to give up any of his power, so he gave his son no power, and he made him his arond boy. Eleanor taught Richard, and Richard became a great fighter. King Henry, taught his son Henry, who would be the king one day. All Henry learned to do is listen to direction from people. It would effect the society because Richard would have been more prepared to be king, when Henry was not.

The rules of courtly love have some impact on society today. Now a days men do not respect women as much as they used too. The only things men actually do now are occasionally open doors and buy girls presents. They do not still treat them the way the rules of courtly love says too. A lot has changed now, and women do not really expect men to follow those rules anymore anyways, it is just not what we do in the 21 century.
