The Poem That Ruined My Life
It was a dreary Saturday morning in England for all but me. Today my friend Marie de France was asked to be a court writer for the court of Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, and she chose me as her lady in waiting. We were walking in the marketplace when we got this news, and Marie was ecstatic. No one knew why they chose Marie, some say that Eleanor wanted to have someone in the court who had a french background besides herself.

Eleanor quietly walked to the door, closed it, walked back to me and said, “ Have you told anyone else besides me?”
“ No, only you. What do you want to do about it?” I said.
“Nothing right now, I don’t want anyone to find out about it until I actually know what is going on myself.” Eleanor
