TRIVIA
Tomb effigy at Fontevraud Abbey
The story of Eleanor of Aquitaine (c1122–1204) is one you wouldn’t dare try to make up. She was one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in Western Europe during the High Middle Ages. An heiress to half of France at 13, who became queen, first of France (as wife of Louis VII) and then of England (thanks to her marriage to Henry II). A survivor of battles on crusade, and in France of at least four abduction attempts. A wife divorced by Louis for barrenness, who bore at least 10 children. A mother of three kings (Henry the Young King, Richard I and John) and two queens, not to mention the great- grandmother of two saints. A reputed rebel against Henry II, and his prisoner for 15 years, who ruled his lands for her sons. A remarkable woman who, at 80, commanded the defense of a castle against the attacks of her own grandson, Arthur of Brittany.
