Eleanor of Provence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Eleanor of Provence (c 1223 – 26 June 1291) was Queen Consort of King Henry III of England.

Born in Aix-en-Provence, she was the daughter of Ramon Berenguer V, Count of Provence (1198-1245) and Beatrice of Savoy (1206-1266), the daughter of Tomasso, Count of Savoy and his second wife Marguerite of Geneva. All four of their daughters became queens. Like her mother, grandmother, and sisters, Eleanor was renowned for her beauty. Eleanor was probably born in 1223; Matthew Paris describes her as being "jamque duodennem" (presently twelve) when she arrived in England for her marriage.

Eleanor was married to Henry III, King of England (1207-1272) on January 14, 1236. She had never seen him prior to the wedding at Canterbury Cathedral and had never set foot in his impoverished kingdom. Edmund Rich, Archbishop of Canterbury, officiated. Eleanor and Henry had five children:

Edward I (1239-1307)
Margaret (born 1240), married King Alexander III of Scotland
Beatrice (born 1242), married John II, Duke of Brittany
Edmund Crouchback (1245-96)
Katharine (born 1253-May 3, 1257)
Eleanor seems to have been especially devoted to her eldest son, Edward; when he was deathly ill in 1246, she stayed with him at the abbey at Beaulieu for three weeks, long past the time allowed by monastic rules. It was due to her influence that King Henry granted the duchy of Gascony to Edward in 1249. Her youngest child, Katharine, seems to have had a degenerative disease that rendered her mute. When she died aged four, both her royal parents suffered overwhelming grief.

She was a confident consort to Henry, but she brought in her retinue a large number of cousins, "the Savoyards," and her influence with the King and her unpopularity with the English barons created friction during Henry's reign. Eleanor was devoted to her husband's cause, stoutly contested Simon de Montfort, raising troops in France for Henry's cause. On July 13, 1263, she was sailing down the Thames on a barge when her barge was attacked by citizens of London. In fear for her life, Eleanor was rescued by Thomas FitzThomas, the mayor of London, and took refuge at the bishop of London's home.

In 1272 Henry died, and her son Edward, 33 years old, became Edward I, King of England. She stayed on in England as Dowager Queen, and raised several of her grandchildren -- Edward's son Henry and daughter Eleanor, and Beatrice's son John. When her grandson Henry died in her care in 1274, Eleanor mourned him and his heart was buried at the priory at Guildford she founded in his memory. Eleanor retired to a convent but remained in touch with her son and her sister, Marguerite.

Eleanor died in 1291 in Amesbury, England.

COUNTESS AND QUEEN OF ENGLAND

1 AUTH Sl

Eleanor became a nun at Amesbury on 7 July 1284.

Eleanor [Eleanor of Provence] (c.1223-1291), queen of England, consort of Henry III, was born in Provence, the second of four daughters of the count, Raymond-Berengar (V) (1209-1245), and his wife, Beatrice (d. 1265), the daughter of Thomas, count of Savoy. The births of two sons-probably twins-preceded the births of the four daughters, but the boys died very young. The beauty of the daughters, who all became queens, was legendary. Marguerite, the eldest, married Louis IX of France (1234), Sanchia married Richard, first earl of Cornwall, brother of Henry III (1243), and Beatrice, the youngest, married Charles, count of Anjou (1246). Sanchia and Beatrice eventually became queens of Germany and Sicily respectively. By her marriage to Henry III at Canterbury on 14 January 1236, and her coronation at Westminster six days later, Eleanor of Provence acquired the titles of queen of England, lady of Ireland, duchess of Normandy and Aquitaine, and countess of Anjou. The ineffectual titles to Normandy and Anjou were dropped after the treaty of Paris in 1259.

The distinctive troubadour culture of the Midi, notably secular in tone, may have prompted Eleanor's later delight in reading romances, but it was in England as a young queen that her religious sensitivity was nurtured. Her medical care and early moral guidance were entrusted to the learned and urbane Nicholas of Farnham, later bishop of Durham (d. 1257), and she was on terms of friendship with the reforming bishops Robert Grosseteste (d. 1253) and Richard Wyche (d. 1253), and with the scholarly Franciscan Adam Marsh (d. 1259). Her major religious benefactions were prompted by personal associations: the hospital of St Katharine by the Tower, which was given additional endowment by Eleanor and a new charter in 1273, in memory of her husband, and the Dominican priory at Guildford which she founded in memory of her grandson Henry. She was also patron and benefactor of the Cistercian nunnery of Tarrant (Dorset), and an enthusiastic patron of the Franciscans.

It is likely that Eleanor bore only five children, the first four before she was twenty-two: the future king, Edward I (1239-1307); Margaret (1240-1275), who married Alexander III of Scotland; Beatrice, who was born in 1242 at Bordeaux and who married Jean, eldest son of Jean (I), duke of Brittany; and Edmund (1245-1296), later earl of Lancaster. Katharine (b. 1253) was disabled and to the grief of both her parents died in 1257. Eleanor was an attentive mother, strongly protective of her children's interests, and she spent time with them at Windsor when they were young. Later they became the vehicles of her own ambition.

Eleanor's enterprising Savoyard uncles shaped her early role in politics. William of Savoy established her in England; Thomas, count of Flanders (r. 1237-44), and Boniface of Savoy, archbishop of Canterbury (1243-70), used her influence with the king; and Peter of Savoy (d. 1268), who came to England in 1241 and received the honours of Richmond and Pevensey from Henry III, became her close adviser. He shrewdly encouraged Eleanor to strengthen her position at court as mother of the king's heir and to keep Edward's future appanage out of the grasp of Richard of Cornwall. More dubiously, he collaborated with the queen in securing offices and rich marriages for their Savoyard kinsfolk and dependants. This aroused criticism and brought Eleanor into political collision with the king's ambitious Lusignan half-brothers, who arrived in England in 1247 and resented the large share of royal patronage already absorbed by the Savoyards.

Eleanor accompanied Henry III on his ill-fated expedition to Poitou and Gascony in 1242-3, but when the king next left England, to suppress a serious Gascon rebellion in 1253, Eleanor remained as regent, with Richard of Cornwall as her adviser. She acquitted herself extremely well. In June 1254 she joined her husband in Gascony, and in December Henry and Eleanor were the guests of Louis IX and Queen Marguerite, in a friendly family gathering in Paris. This proved a step towards the peace between England and France later achieved by the treaty of Paris (1259).

Eleanor's influence in this case had been constructive, but in 1254 she also became deeply committed, together with her husband, to the disastrous scheme, backed by the pope and the Savoyards, to gain the crown of Sicily for her second son, Edmund. The crippling financial conditions imposed by the papacy aggravated the rising discontent against Henry III's government in England. In 1258 discontent erupted into revolution. The queen's attitude was ambivalent. She rejoiced in the speedy eviction of the unpopular Lusignans but she deplored the severe reduction in royal power achieved by the reformers in the provisions of Oxford (1258). A significant though temporary breach between Edward and his parents added to the complex cross-currents of what became an embittered and factious struggle. From the beginning of 1260 the queen gradually came to be seen as the arch-enemy of reform. In 1261 she colluded with a small group of activists around the king to achieve a royalist revanche, and the pope released Henry III, Eleanor, and their sons from their oaths to uphold the provisions. In June 1263 the queen's opponents struck and her lands and those of her kinsmen and supporters were ravaged. Eleanor angrily opposed the terms imposed on the king by the rebels, now led by Simon de Montfort, and in a defiant attempt to reach her son Edward in Windsor Castle by river, she was halted at London Bridge, pelted with stones, and treated to a volley of coarse insults from an excited mob of Londoners, who had learned to hate all aliens and especially the queen. The experience hardened her resolve. She went to France, where she enlisted the sympathy of the French king and her sister Marguerite. Louis IX's judgment in favour of Henry III in an arbitration at Amiens in January 1264 was thought to owe much to Eleanor's influence. It provoked immediate civil war in England.

In adversity Eleanor of Provence was indomitable. After the defeat of the royalists at Lewes in May 1264, which left Henry virtually a captive and Edward a hostage in the hands of Simon de Montfort, she assembled a formidable invasion force in Flanders. When this plan proved abortive she made Gascony her base, pressing the diplomatic offensive against Montfort with remorseless vigour and great skill. Her network of contacts, which reached out to the papacy and the French court as well as commanding material resources from Gascony, Ireland, the Welsh march, and the English refugees and exiles on the continent, helped to bring about the royalist victory at Evesham in August 1265, and she returned to England in November. Realistic and competent in financial affairs, she persuaded the pope to allocate her 60,000 (of Tours) from the tenth imposed on the English clergy in 1266, so that she might attempt to settle the extensive debts which she had incurred abroad.

Despite her strong sense of personal obligation in money matters, Eleanor, like many of her contemporaries, was oppressive in the administration of her lands, especially those which she received from the crown in wardship. While she was consort she used the financial services of both Jews and merchants, but she dismissed all Jews from her dower towns in 1275. After Henry III's death in 1272 she had emerged as a wealthy property holder. In addition to her dower assignment, valued at 4000 a year, she enjoyed bequests from Peter of Savoy, comprising the honour of Pevensey and an annual sum of 1805 in lieu of the honour of Richmond. Even when she became a nun she retained substantial wealth in England, although surrendering her Gascon revenues. Since her lands would revert to the crown on her death she was permitted to make her will from her landed revenues, up to a sum of 10,000 marks. Eleanor was in the top band of aristocratic landowners.

To the end of her life, in political or personal matters which concerned herself or her family, Eleanor's wishes carried considerable weight with her eldest son after he became king, although she would have liked him to be even more personally attentive to her. In July 1286 she took the veil at the prestigious priory of Amesbury (Wiltshire), a house of the order of Fontevrault, having first arranged that two of her granddaughters should precede her there. Eleanor died at Amesbury Priory on 24 June 1291 and was buried there on 9 September, after the king's return from Scotland, in the presence of a large gathering of magnates. Her heart was buried in the church of the Franciscans in London in early December. No funeral monuments have survived the dissolution. Many Englishmen hated her for her political stance, but her superb courage and practical capacity, used on behalf of her family, commanded respect, and chroniclers acclaimed her as a virago, a warrior heroine. The many letters written during her widowhood reveal a woman quick to defend her own rights, yet capable of tact, magnanimity, and warm personal kindness. She was revered by her husband and her children.

Eleanor of Provence (c. 1223 - 24/25 June 1291[1]) was Queen Consort of King Henry III of England from 1236 until his death in 1272.
Born in Aix-en-Provence , she was the second eldest daughter of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence (1198-1245) and Beatrice of Savoy (1205-1267), the daughter of Thomas I of Savoy and his second wife Marguerite of Geneva . All four of their daughters became queens. Like her mother, grandmother, and sisters, Eleanor was renowned for her beauty. She was a dark-haired brunette with fine eyes.[2] Peter Langtoft speaks of her as "The erle's daughter, the fairest may of life".[3] On 22 June 1235, Eleanor was bethrothed to King Henry III of England (1207-1272).[1] Eleanor was probably born in 1223; Matthew Paris describes her as being "jamque duodennem" (already twelve) when she arrived in the Kingdom of England for her marriage.
Eleanor was married to King Henry III of England on 14 January 1236. She had never seen him prior to the wedding at Canterbury Cathedral and had never set foot in his kingdom.[4] Edmund Rich , Archbishop of Canterbury, officiated. She was dressed in a shimmering golden gown which was tightly-fitted to the waist, and then flared out in wide pleats to her feet. The sleeves were long and lined with ermine.[5] After riding to London the same day where a procession of citizens greeted the bridal pair, Eleanor was crowned queen consort of England in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey which was followed by a magnificent banquet with the entire nobility in full attendance.[6]
Eleanor and Henry together had five children:
Edward I (1239-1307), married firstly Eleanor of Castile , by whom he had issue, including his heir Edward II ; he married secondly Marguerite of France , by whom he had issue.
Margaret of England (1240-1275), married King Alexander III of Scotland , by whom she had issue.
Beatrice of England (1242 - 1275), married John II, Duke of Brittany , by whom she had issue.
Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster (1245-1296), married firstly Aveline de Forz; married secondly as his second wife Blanche of Artois , by whom he had issue.
Katharine (25 November 1253 - 3 May 1257)
Eleanor was renowned for her learning, cleverness, and skill at writing poetry,[4] as well as her beauty; she was also known as a leader of fashion, continually importing clothes from France.[3] She often wore parti-coloured cottes , gold or silver girdles into which a dagger was casually thrust, she favoured red silk damask, and decorations of gilt quatrefoil, and to cover her dark hair she wore jaunty pillbox caps. Eleanor introduced a new type of wimple to England, which was high, "into which the head receded until the face seemed like a flower in an enveloping spathe".[3]
Eleanor seems to have been especially devoted to her eldest son, Edward; when he was deathly ill in 1246, she stayed with him at the abbey at Beaulieu for three weeks, long past the time allowed by monastic rules.[7] It was because of her influence that King Henry granted the duchy of Gascony to Edward in 1249.[citation needed ] Her youngest child, Katharine, seems to have had a degenerative disease that rendered her deaf. When the little girl died at the age of three, both her royal parents suffered overwhelming grief.[8]
She was a confident consort to Henry, but she brought in her retinue a large number of cousins, "the Savoyards," and her influence with the King and her unpopularity with the English barons created friction during Henry's reign.[9] Eleanor was devoted to her husband's cause, stoutly contested Simon de Montfort , raising troops in France for Henry's cause. On 13 July 1263, she was sailing down the Thames on a barge when her barge was attacked by citizens of London.[10] Eleanor stoutly hated the Londoners who returned her hatred; in revenge for their dislike Eleanor had demanded from the city all the back payments due on the monetary tribute known as queen-gold, by which she received a tenth of all fines which came to the Crown. In addition to the queen-gold other such fines were levied on the citizens by the Queen on the thinnest of pretexts.[11] In fear for her life as she was pelted with stones, loose pieces of paving, dried mud, rotten eggs and vegetables, Eleanor was rescued by Thomas FitzThomas , the mayor of London, and took refuge at the bishop of London's home.
In 1272 Henry died, and her son Edward, who was 33 years old, became Edward I, King of England . She remained in England as Dowager Queen , and raised several of her grandchildren -- Edward's son Henry and daughter Eleanor, and Beatrice's son John . When her grandson Henry died in her care in 1274, Eleanor mourned him dearly, and his heart was buried at the priory at Guildford which she founded in his memory.
Eleanor retired to a convent but remained in touch with her son, King Edward, and her sister, Queen Marguerite of France.
Eleanor died on 24/25 June 1291 in Amesbury , England . She was buried on 11 September 1291 in the Abbey of St. Mary and St. Melor, Amesbury.

Edward I (1239–1307), married Eleanor of Castile (1241–1290) in 1254, by whom he had issue, including his heir Edward II; he married Margaret of France in 1299, by whom he had issue.
Margaret of England (1240–1275), married King Alexander III of Scotland, by whom she had issue.
Beatrice of England (1242–1275), married John II, Duke of Brittany, by whom she had issue.
Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster (1245–1296), married Aveline de Forz in 1269, who died four years later without issue; married Blanche of Artois in 1276, by whom he had issue.
Katharine (25 November 1253 – 3 May 1257)
Four others are listed, but their existence is in doubt as there is no contemporary record of them. These are:

Richard (1247–1256)
John (1250–1256)
William (1251–1256)
Henry (1256–1257)

Eleanor was renowned for her learning, cleverness, and skill at writing poetry,[4] as well as her beauty; she was also known as a leader of fashion, continually importing clothes from France.[3] She often wore parti-coloured cottes (a type of tunic), gold or silver girdles into which a dagger was casually thrust, she favoured red silk damask, and decorations of gilt quatrefoil, and to cover her dark hair she wore jaunty pillbox caps. Eleanor introduced a new type of wimple to England, which was high, "into which the head receded until the face seemed like a flower in an enveloping spathe".[3]

Eleanor seems to have been especially devoted to her eldest son, Edward; when he was deathly ill in 1246, she stayed with him at the abbey at Beaulieu in Hampshire for three weeks, long past the time allowed by monastic rules.[7] It was because of her influence that King Henry granted the duchy of Gascony to Edward in 1249.[citation needed] Her youngest child, Katharine, seems to have had a degenerative disease that rendered her deaf. When the little girl died at the age of three, both her royal parents suffered overwhelming grief.[8]

Eleanor was a loyal and faithful consort to Henry, but she brought in her retinue a large number of cousins, "the Savoyards," and her influence with the King and her unpopularity with the English barons created friction during Henry's reign.[9] Eleanor was devoted to her husband's cause, stoutly contested Simon de Montfort, raising troops in France for Henry's cause. On 13 July 1263, she was sailing down the Thames on a barge when her barge was attacked by citizens of London.[10] Eleanor stoutly hated the Londoners who returned her hatred; in revenge for their dislike Eleanor had demanded from the city all the back payments due on the monetary tribute known as queen-gold, by which she received a tenth of all fines which came to the Crown. In addition to the queen-gold other such fines were levied on the citizens by the Queen on the thinnest of pretexts.[11] In fear for her life as she was pelted with stones, loose pieces of paving, dried mud, rotten eggs and vegetables, Eleanor was rescued by Thomas Fitzthomas, the Mayor of London, and took refuge at the bishop of London's home.

In 1272 Henry died, and her son Edward, who was 33 years old, became Edward I, King of England. She remained in England as Dowager Queen, and raised several of her grandchildren—Edward's son Henry and daughter Eleanor, and Beatrice's son John. When her grandson Henry died in her care in 1274, Eleanor went into mourning and gave orders for his heart to be buried at the priory at Guildford which she founded in his memory.

She retired to a convent; however, remained in contact with her son, King Edward, and her sister, Queen Margaret of France.

Eleanor died on 24/25 June 1291 in Amesbury, eight miles north of Salisbury, England. She was buried on 11 September 1291 in the Abbey of St Mary and St Melor, Amesbury on 9 December. Her heart was taken to London where it was buried at the Franciscan priory.[12]

!NAME:
Alianor aka Eleonore

The young girl traveling from the south of France to be married to an unknown bridegroom in the rigorous of an English winter must, one feels, have possessed a strength of character above the average. Eleanor, who became Henry III's queen in January 1236, was the second of four beautiful sisters, the daughters of Raymond Berenger V, Count of Provence, himself one of the last great Provencal poets, whose court was renowned for its patronage of the troubadours. All the girls made brilliant marriages: Margaret to St Louis IX, King of France; Eleanor to Henry III; Sanchia to Henry's brother, Richard of Cornwall, King of the Romans; and Beatrice to Charles of Anjou, King of Naples.
Henry III had first negotiated for the hand of Joan, Countess of Ponthieu, whose daughter Eleanor was years later to become the wife of his son Edward. However, having heard from his brother Richardof the beauty and vivacity of the Provencal ladies, he cancelled his suit and made proposals for the hand of Eleanor which were finally accepted after some haggling about her dower. This was necessarily limited because Henry's mother was still alive and in full possession of her jointure, which could only be dowered to Eleanor in reversion.
Eleanor journeyed through France, visiting the court of her sister Queen Margaret en route, landed at Dover, and proceeded to Canterbury where she was married to the King by Edmund Rich. Sixteen days later she was crowned at Westminster Abbey. Henry had spared no expense in having the Palace of Westminster refurbished for his young queen, installing refinements of plumbing, window-glazing and astandard of general comfort hitherto unknown in this country. Instructions remain for chambers in the Palace to 'be painted a good green color, like a curtain.' The Queen's coronation was an occasion of great display and a large equestrian procession escorted the sovereigns from the Tower to Westminster in a splendid cavalcade.
Henry was a loving and faithful husband and the couple's married life remained a completely happy one. However, the Queen's popularity suffered when her Savoyard uncles visited England and were generously entertained, the King extracting money for that purpose from the Jews with threats of expulsion. The marriage of the Queen's sister Sanchia to the King's brother Richard was another occasion of great display, for which the Jews were again obliged to furnish funds.
On the death of Edmund Rich in 1240, Eleanor procured the Archbishopric of Canterbury for her uncle, Boniface of Savory, writing to the Pope herself to assure the nomination.
Boniface's attempts to institute a visitation of the province of Canterbury were strongly resented, and there was an unseemly brawl when he visited St Bartholomew's Priory in the diocese of London and was told by the monks that they would only accept a visitation from their own bishop. Boniface lost his temper, personally assaulted the sub-prior, and encouraged his attendants to beat the monks savagely. The King refused to listen to the monks' complaint and the people of London chased Boniface into Lambeth Palace, where he was forced to lie low until they had calmed down.
The Queen's extravagances continued to excite the hostility of the Londoners for many years and, even after she received the reversion of the dower lands on the death of Isabella of Angouleme in 1240, she and Henry still found it necessary to raise funds by every possible means. In 1252, when Henry went to France to deal with a revolt in Gascony, Eleanor was constituted joint-regent with her brother-in-law Richard. She attempted to extract the payments of Aurum Reginae (queen-gold, a right to every tenth mark paid to the King for various purposes) from her old enemies the citizens of London, and had the sheriffs committed to prison on their refusal to pay.
In the words of Agnes Strickland, Eleanor 'loved power well, but pleasure better', and in 1254 she accompanied her son Edward to Spain to take part in the festivities to celebrate his marriage to theInfanta of Castile. On the way back, Henry, Eleanor and the young couple were invited to stay at the French court by Eleanor's sister and brother-in-law. After a long and pleasant sojourn the King and Queen finally returned to England in January 1255 after an absence of nearly a year.
Throughout the civil war Eleanor was active in support of her husbanded and son, raising money on her jewelry to aid their cause. 'This noble virage', as Matthew of Westminster termed her, was in France when the victory of Evesham was won and rejoined her husband and son as soon as a favorable wind would allow.
On Henry III's death Eleanor exercised the regency until her son Edward returned. She had the sorrow of losing her daughters, the Queen of Scots and the Duchess of Brittany, who both died in 1275. In 1280 she retired to the Benedictine convent of Amesbury, where she intended to take the veil - not, however, until the Pope had given her permission to retain her dower. This being finally granted, she was professed a nun and assumed the religious habit on 7 July 1284. Two of her granddaughters made their profession at the same time.
Eleanor continued to take an interest in the affairs of her widely dispersed family and lived on at Amesbury unti 1291, dying after a short illness at the age of about sixty-seven with her son the King at her bedside. Eleanor's is not a very sympathetic character, being strong-willed, avaricious and pleasure-loving, but she was a loyal wife and mother, and her religious vocation appears to havebeen genuine.

BIOGRAPHY: QUEENS OF ENGLAND, AUTHOR: NORAH LOFTS, PUBLISHER: DOUBLEDAY & SONS 1977
Eleanor of Provence was one of the most hated of the Queens of England, always regarded as a foreigner. Her mistake lay in her refusal to be assimilated and in her flagrant preference for foreigners - and this just at a time when the English were becoming aware of themselves as one people.
She was able to continue her misguided policy because she had so much influence over Henry III. It needed very little in the way of beauty or strength of character to gain ascendancy over Henry who was remarkably a weak-willed man; so weak of will that some people regarded him as half-witted.
Eleanor is said to have been beautiful and, in a literary way if in no other, she was clever. She was producing poetry in the romantic Provencal style while she was very young. It was in fact one of her poems which led to her becoming Queen of England. She wrote a poem about an ancient, half-mythical hero of Cornwall and sent it, as a compliment, to Henry's younger brother, Richard of Cornwall, who appreciated such things. Henry appreciated them too. Knowing this and seeing his brother aged twenty-nine with five abortive attempts to find a bride behind him, Richard commended Eleanor to Henry. And that was typical. Many men married women chosen for them, by parents, by political circumstances; few marry a wife selected by their younger brother.
Politically it was a good choice, in keeping with the deluded belief of the day - that blood kinship made for happy relationship in other spheres; Eleanor's elder sister was Queen of France.
Eleanor landed at Dover accompanied by an impressive train of attendants. Wise kings in those days sent the bride's friends home, if not immediately, then as soon after the coronation as possible. Henry did not. He and Eleanor were married at Canterbury in January 1236 and then she went to London to be crowned.
It was a different coronation from that of her predecessor. Henry, like his father John, liked to be well-dressed himself, but he liked all about him to be well-dressed too. He spent lavishly. He was at once greedy to get and ready to give. Eleanor's coronation was marked by vast expenditure, but also by considerable gifts to the poor. She was young and pretty and, briefly, popular.
But the foreigners who had come with her stayed, and were joined by others. Any remunerative or honorable office that fell vacant was immediately bestowed upon a foreigner. At the dock known as Queenhythe, by tradition a perquisite of the Queen of England, foreign ships were given precedence over English ones. One can imagine the discontent amongst the merchants of London.
From the point of view of child-bearing, Eleanor was satisfactory. Edward, who was to be Edward I, was born at Westminster in 1239. He was named for the last undisputed King of England, Edward the Confessor; and that was a popular choice. But whatever popularity the birth of the heir and his name evoked, it was immediately cancelled out of Henry's hint that this was an occasion for valuable gifts. One noble said, "Heaven gave us this child, but the King sells him to us."
In Henry's defense, and therefore Eleanor's, it must be said that much of the money which was gathered by gifts or taxes was well spent. Westminster Abbey was rebuilt and Westminster Hall transformed from a stark, utilitarian building into a palace. And an orphanage was established and endowed. Eleanor bore another son, Edmund, and several daughters; once the royal children were weighed and their weight in silver given to the poor.
Eleanor lived through a civil war, short but savage, during which both her husband and her son Edward were taken prisoner by the rebel barons. Both were released unharmed and the worst thing she suffered was to be pelted, when she attempted to leave the Tower of London where she was at the time, with clods of mud and filth from the streets. Irony here, for when she came to London for her coronation, Henry had ordered all London streets to be swept clean.
Henry died in 1272. His lasting faith and devotion to his wife is proved by his will, made years earlier and never revoked. He appointed her Regent.
Regent she was never to be, for Edward, her eldest son, was thirty-three and a hardened man of war. He had been on Crusade; he had learned from one experience in the civil war not to be too impetuous. And he never forgave what one might call the mob-element of London for throwing filth at his mother. She saw him crowned, and when she retired, as so many royal widows did, to a convent, he visited her as often as his busy, very busy life permitted.
Not, on the whole, an unhappy story; she may not have endeared herself to the citizens of London or to those of high rank who had been supplanted by her foreign favorites, but her family relationships had been happy; a devoted husband, loving children and a fair length of days. She lived to hear of Edward's conquest of Wales. And she died at the end of a long, downward slide, called "failing health".

[FAVthomas.FTW]

French Éléonore De Provence queen consort of King Henry III of England(ruled 1216/72); her widespread unpopularity intensified the severeconflicts between the King and his barons.
Eleanor's father was Raymond Berengar IV, count of Provence, and hermother was the daughter of Thomas I, count of Savoy. The marriage ofEleanor and Henry (January 1236) was designed to further the King'scontinental ambitions. Eleanor soon alienated the barons by having herSavoyard and Provençal uncles installed in high offices in England.
After rebel barons captured Henry and took over the government in May1264, Eleanor
became the leader of the royalist exiles in France. She raised aninvasion force, but her fleet was wrecked at Sluis, Flanders.Nevertheless, the rebels were crushed in August 1265, and Eleanor thenreturned to England. Upon the death of Henry and the accession of her sonEdward I, she retired to a nunnery at Amesbury.
