by Euan Kerr, Minnesota Public Radio
January 9, 2004

St. Paul, Minn. — In the 13th century the powerful practiced full contact politics. Lose a political battle, and you might lose your head. The period has fascinated Minneapolis writer Judith Koll Healy since she was a girl. About 15 years ago she began reading about Eleanor of Aquitaine, and the political intrigues swirling round her family, the courts of France and England. Those intrigues form the basis for Healy's first novel "The Canterbury Papers."
