 * 1 Eleanor and King Henry have had vastly different methods of teaching their children. Eleanor spent significant amounts of time with Richard. She showed him things that he would have to do as a king and taught him how to rule. King Henry handled young Henry in the exact opposite manner. He spent very little time with him and never taught him anything about being a ruler. His relationship with his son was mostly to have young Henry run around and do errands for him. This connects to the EQ because Eleanor’s decision to train Richard affected him in the long run and helped him be a better king. Young Henry’s lack of training by his father would have made it difficult for him t o rule. **


 * 2 Some of the ways that men continue to treat women today were established in The Courts of Love of Eleanor and Marie. In the Courts of Love men placed high importance on treating women in a chivalrous, or gentlemanly, manner. Some of those gestures might be things such as holding a door or helping a lady put on her coat. Some men today continue to show this type of politeness, particularly in public places. These manners are more commonly seen when a man is trying to impress a woman, or during periods of courtship. Gentlemanly treatment toward women is still common in many of today’s societies. **

 * In the book __A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver__ Abbot Bernard thinks Geoffrey suffered and died because of his kidnapping of the king’s steward and ruining the king’s land. A person can have have an obvious punishment invoked on them because of an illegal action or crime they commit. Divine Justice can bring about further punishment from God or a higher power. Earthly authorities may send you to jail for a crime that is committed. Divine Justice may sentence you to a punishment that is much more severe including a physical handicap, other misfortunes in life, and may even cause death as in the case of Geoffrey. When consid ering Divine Justice a person’s actions can have an even greater effect on their lives or the lives of others. **


 * In the opinion of Eleanor and Lady Matilda, it was a bad idea to appoint Becket as archbishop because they felt that Henry would be giving Becket too much power. They thought that Becket would be serving God more than Henry. “If you make him archbishop, you give him too much power and too hard a choice,” (E.L. Konigsburg 113). This shows that Eleanor and Lady Matilda strongly disagreed with Henry on making Thomas an archbishop. Henry wanted Becket to be archbishop because he deeply trusted him and he thought highly of him. I think the outcome of this action will lead to the death of Becket because he will betray Henry and Henry will kill him. **

There were a number of reasons why Eleanor and Louis were betrothed to each other later than normal. Louis wasn’t betrothed until later than normal because his older brother was chosen to be the next king, and Louis, who wasn’t supposed to be rich like the rest of his family, was planning to become a priest. However, Louis’ brother later died and Louis became next in line to be the family hier. He was then betrothed to be married. Because Louis was the second son, he said “I was not supposed to be rich. I am the second son,” (E.L. Konigsburg 19-20). This a great example of how Louis never expected to become rich and royal. The reason why Eleanor was not betrothed as a baby was because her father and grandfather thought that they would never die, and would therefore not need a male heir to later become king. The reader realizes that Eleanor’s family thought they were immortal and that they believed they were better than everyone else because they had lots of money. These are the specific reasons why the two were not betrothed as babies.

There are many examples of how the decisions of Louis and Eleanor affected their lives and others. The first example was Louis making the decision to travel through the mountains instead of the normal path. Because he chose this route, his men were unexpectedly attacked and too tired to fight back. Louis’ decision to go through the mountains caused many to die. “It was a slaughter. Louis’s men were caught unarmored and exhausted from their climb,” (E.L. Konigsburg 59). Another example is when Eleanor and Louis were traveling through the mountains. Instead of staying in the mountains like Louis had ordered, Eleanor left and went into a nearby valley. Before she knew what had happened she was being attacked by the turks. This decision affected her and Louis because she could have just listened and followed everyone else, but instead put her life at stake. This shows how their decisions changed their lives and the lives of many others.
