✍🏼 Segunda entrega de 'Amores extraños' en Uve Magazine. Una historia real que parece leyenda.

Ella era Leonor de Castilla, reina consorte de Inglaterra. ¿Queréis conocer su historia? Es apasionante, turbadora también, pero hipnótica; porque hay amores extraños y reales que, más o menos acicaladas por el pincel del tiempo, sobreviven y se vuelven inmortales.

A few pictures of the Eleanor Cross in Dunstable. It was erected by Edward I after his wife, Queen Eleanor passed in 1290. The whole story about Edward and Eleanor presented in Caernarfon Castle (Eleanor's Room).

While on the #EleanorCrosses "A London Inheritance", https://alondoninheritance.com/, has recently written a series of five splendid blog posts following the journey in November-December 1290 of Eleanor's body from Harby, Lincolnshire to her burial in Westminster Abbey.

There seems to be nothing here yet about the Eleanor Crosses -- so let's fix that.

I'll start with a link to the text of a talk given by my father RE (Bob) Marshall to Cheshunt WEA in or shortly after 1953. In reading it bear in mind its age and that historical research has moved on, so current knowledge may differ from what is presented here.
