*grins* Not stalkerish. ^.^ Admittedly I wandered over to your journal as well so I guess we're even? :) But yes, the book is amazing. I've just finished the section on Matilda of Boulogne and Empress Matilda - there were a lot of Matildas in those days - and was seriously impressed by how much they achieved, in spite of the constraints placed on women at the time. I'm looking forward to the sections on Eleanor of Aquitane and the time of the War of the Roses. :)
