The French Chronicle of London

In this popular tabloid an anonymous writer portrays Eleanor as the complete sadist.  First, she strips the poor innocent Rosamond then she roasts her between two fires.  To follow, she places two toads on Rosamond’s breasts to suck away, while she bleeds her slowly to death in the bath, just like Robin Hood a generation later.  But the writer’s facts are a little mixed up for he mistakenly calls her Eleanor of Provence and makes her the wife of Henry III.  This is understandable; it was actually written in Anglo-Norman in the 14th century - it is generated dated between 1259 and 1343. It finally was translated into English in 1844 (above) when it became more widely known.
