Notes:
From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled Eleanor of Aquitaine:
"also called ELEANOR OF GUYENNE, French ?EL?EONORE, OR ALI?ENOR, D'AQUITAINE, OR DEGUYENNE, queen consort of both Louis VII of France (in 1137-52) and Henry II of England (in 1152-1204) and mother of Richard I the Lion-Heart and John of England. She was perhaps the most powerful woman in 12th-century Europe.
"She died in 1204 at the monastery at Fontevrault, Anjou, where she had retired after the campaign at Mirebeau. Her contribution to England extended beyond her own lifetime; after the loss of Normandy (1204), it was her own ancestral lands and not the old Norman territories that remained loyal to England. She has been misjudged by many French historians who have noted only her youthful frivolity, ignoring the tenacity, political wisdom, and energy that characterized the years of her maturity. "She was beautiful and just, imposing and modest, humble and elegant"; and, as the nuns of Fontevrault wrote in their necrology: a queen "who surpassed almost all the queens of the world."ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE (1122-1204) was one of the most important rulers of Medieval Europe.
Many noblewomen in the Middle Ages were well-educated. but Eleanor had the chance to use her education at a time when European politics was dominated by men.
When she was just fifteen, Eleanor's father died, and she inherited Aquitaine. the largest kingdom in France. That same year she married King Louis VII and became Queen of France. Although still a teenager, Eleanor was an impressive figure--beautiful, very well-educated, and fearlessly independent.
When Louis went off on the Crusades, she went with him, traveling thousands of miles, much of it through hostile lands.
But Eleanor and Louis had no male heir, and tensions developed between them. The Pope granted them a divorce when Eleanor was twenty-nine. Within months. Eleanor married Henry Plantagent, her ex-husband's main rival. Two years later Henry became King of England--and Eleanor was a queen again.
However, Henry soon fell in love with another woman, and Eleanor left England to set up her own court in Aquitaine, which she still ruled. Troubadours from all over France flocked to her palace at Poitiers, where Eleanor acted as patron of the arts. Many of the ideas of chivalry that we associate with the Middle Ages were developed in Eleanor's court..
