Oh, I don't know..the illicit first meeting in Paris when she was still married to his fellow monarch, the scandalous divorce, the galloping off to meet her on the road to Aquitaine before another man could kidnap and claim her, even the nasty rumors of her having an affair with his father...there's all kinds of great stuff early on, I think. And then there's the fact that they produced a son right off the bat, as if to say 'suck it, Louis!' Hee.
