Apparently this is the sequel to a book I really liked in high school, The Queen's Man. They're both about Eleanor of Aquitaine, a woman in power. Unfortunately, I spotted this on my way to vote in the Massachusetts special election, which did not result in a woman in power, but instead Scott Brown.
