Wine has been made in Bordeaux since the time of the Romans, although it was an exclusively domestic product for the first 1, 000-plus years, until HenryIIofEngland married Eleanor of Aquitaine and exports of Bordeaux to England began.
You don't have to believe that legend, but Henry Plantagenet, later HenryIIofEngland, husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the father of Lionhearted, did, and he came here to pray to the Black Madonna that still looks down on those who come to the little chapel by the tomb where the hermit's body was found.
