No, although I definitely had an Eleanor of Aquitaine phase, and would therefore be delighted at reading a similar IN SPACE!! novel that did similar things, but with Angevins and Poitevins...

I know for a fact that Kate Elliott had a massive, potentially lifelong Alexander the Great phase (one of her sons is even named Alexander), and I strongly suspect that this novel — a real labour of love — is doing exactly the thing you're describing. I think you will enjoy the novel if you had a similar phase — there were some things that I recognised (the spaceship called Bucephalus), but I suspect a lot of the references went over my head.
