!Daughter and co-heir of Raymond Berenger, Count of Provence. [Ped. of Charlemagne's Desc., Vol. I, p. 184, 279]
!Canterbury, 14 Jan 1236 -- 19-year-old Eleanor, second of four beautiful daughters of the Count of Provence, was married in great splendour in the cathedral at Canterbury to King Henry III. The bride had travelled the length of France for the ceremony and was crowned in Westminster abbey 16 days later. Henry spared no expense in renovating the palace of Westminster for his bride. Plumbing was installed, glass was fitted in the windows, and built huge fireplaces in the palace. The king originally negotiated for the hand of the Countess of Ponthieu, but changed his mind when he was told of the four beauties of Provence. There was some haggling over the dowry, but indications were that it soon became a love match. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 57]

Edward was undoubtedly devoted to his first queen, Eleanor of Castile, daughter of Ferdinand III of Castile and Jeanne of Dammartin, and it seems that she valued her connections with France more than those with Castile. She did not bring a large number of kinsmen and compatriots to England in the way that her
mother-in-law had done, but some of her French relations were given places in her household. She was probably only 12 at the time of her marriage, and her death in 1290 came when she was only 49. Her main activity was the production of children, probably 15 in all, but she did manage to share Edward's career to
a remarkable extent, accompanying him on crusade, and going to Wales and Gascony with him.
Eleanor was a cultured woman. She possessed a library of romances, presumably many of them of the Arthurian type. Eleanor was fond of Tapestries, and even engaged in weaving them herself. She was probably not as fond of chess and similar games as her husband, though there is a reference to her playing the game of Four Kings, probably a four-handed variant of chess. A touching not in the accounts records that her clerks were sent to buy fruit from a Spanish ship which came to Portsmouth--even late in life she missed the
figs, pomegranates, oranges and lemons of her childhood.
There is a discordant element in Eleanor's career, concerning the running of her estates. Investigations after her death into the activities of her estate managers produced an unattractive picture of high-handed and extortionate behaviour. One charge, which was upheld, was that one of Eleanor's reeves has seized a house from its owners, falsely procuring their imprisonment, and dumping their baby in its cradle in the middle of the road. [Edward I, p. 122-4]
Dau. of Raymond Berengar, count of Provence; queen of Henry III of England (m. 1236). Although the marriage to Henry was prestigious--Eleanor's sister, Margaret, had become the wife of Louis IX of France in 1234--Eleanor brought no dowry with her. The king, however, provided generously for his young bride, who was still in her early teens, and the couple formed a strong mutual attachment, considered unusual by contemporaries. Henry showed considerable favour to two of her uncles, giving one, Peter of Savoy, the honour of Richmond in 1240, and the other, Boniface, the archbishopric of Canterbury in 1241. As a result he was drawn into a network of Savoyard intrigue, which created hostility to both king and queen. Eleanor was also extravagant: in the 1260s a payment of 20,000 marks made to her by the Londoners was swallowed up by her creditors abroad. Eleanor bore Henry two sons and three daughters. When he died in 1272, she retired to the great nunnery at Amesbury. After her death her son, Edward I, paid off her continuing debts. [The Plantagenet Encyclopedia, p. 71-2]
