Question
A woman with this name was said to be the Prophecy of Merlin’s “eagle of the broken covenant” that “shall rejoice in her third nesting.” A woman with this name was pelted with rotten eggs by Londoners who hated her court faction of Savoyard relatives. A woman of this name wrapped Guinevere’s bones in an elaborate reburial and supposedly sucked poison from the knife wound her husband received from an assassin sent by the Emir of Jaffa. A queen of this name added to her massive land holdings via her husband’s (*) expulsion of the Jews and is memorialized at Giddesford by one of her namesake crosses. Edward I’s Provençal mother and Castilian wife both had this first name. A queen of this name added Gascony to the Angevin empire by marrying a man called FitzEmpress, then supported her son, the Young King, in a revolt against him. For 10 points, give this name of Henry II’s wife from Aquitaine. ■END■
