We are warned in the preface that much speculation is involved in trying to write a biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Stlll, I think a historian should know that the Langue d'Oc is a language and not a dialect of French (she spent a few paragraphs on this) and that the Langue d'Oeil is French. Also, I think a historian should have been able to find out that a cythara actually is a lute, not maybe a lute. And this was only Chapter 1.
Not having a lot of faith in Weir's abilities as an historian or researcher, I gave it up.
