I consider myself a direct descendant of Heloise.
Abelard achieves reknown in Catholic Philosophy — as his way out of what happened with Heloise… After getting his balls cut off. Very Famous Story.
Heloise’s Uncle who adored her, she had beautiful brain, hired Abelard to be her tutor.
He fell hard she fell hard they fucked in the rucking church. No seriously they did. Everywhere you know young and into it most intensely…
She got pregnant. Uncle got so pissed, he cut of Abelard’s dick. Both then went to Monostery.
She to a Cloister, which eventually she ran — she lived and ended her life there.
She tracks Abelard down and starts writing to him beautiful letters, those letters are as good Emily’s…
But Abelard is somewhere else — working as a Catholic Philsopher, so he starts discussing it from that point of view —- the differences growing between them is lovely.
And Heloise’s eventual acceptance of what she is stuck with…
Its Fab Alot.

Pierre Abélard (in English, Peter Abelard) or Abailard (in English, Peter Abelard) or Abailard (1079 – April 21, 1142) was a preeminent French scholastic philosopher, often referred to as the “Descartes of the twelfth century” due to his rationalist orientation, and regarded as a forerunner of Rousseau, Kant, and Lessing. He was one of the greatest logicians of the Middle Ages, and one of those who believed that ancient pagan philosophy was relevant to Christian thought. He was one of the first to introduce the methods and ideas of Aristotle to Christian intellectuals, and helped establish the scholastic tradition of using philosophy to provide a rationale for ecclesiastical doctrine. A formidable polemicist, he was rarely defeated in debate because of his keen intelligence, excellent memory, eloquence, and audacity. Abelard is regarded by later scholars as one of the founders of “nominalism.” He also anticipated Kant by arguing that subjective intention determined if not the moral character at least the moral value of human action.
