Notities over Eleonore van Aquitanië

Hertogin van Aquitanië (1137-1204), gravin van Poitou. Koningin van Frankrijk (22-07-1137 tot 18-03-1152). Koningin van Engeland, op 19-12-1154 gekroond in de Westminster Abbey. Het 1e huwelijk is ontbonden op 18-03-1152 in Beaugency. Zij is ee
n nicht in de 4e graad van haar 1e man en heeft hem twee dochters geschonken; uit haar 2e huwelijk heeft zij 5 zonen en 3 dochters. Een oom van haar is Raymond van Poitiers, prins van Antiochië, * 1099, + 1149.Eleonore was the heiress of Aquitaine. Her land holdings would greatly enhance the power of King Henry II of England. In 1173, things began to sour for her as she became outraged and disappointed with her tyranical spouse. She would begin to brin
g her sons up against their father, motivating them to claim their inheritances early. Her efforts toward that end were in very subtle ways and intrigue supported by Louis VII, King de France, her first husband. Messengers of the Duke of Aquitaine reached King Louis VI in Bethisy with news of their Duke's death on the way to Saint-Jean-de-Compostelle. With his dying breath, the Duke asked the King to look after his daughter, the 15-year old Alienor. King Louis VI immediately arranged for Alienor's marriage to his 17-year old son, Louis VII. A Council of the Archbishops and Bishops of France met in Beaugency on the shores of the Loire, presided by Hughes, Archbishop of Sens. The spouses are in accord and their parents testify that their are cousins, whose consanguinity is prohibited by Canon Law, and that the proper dispensations had not been obtained before the celebration of 1137. The Council dissolves the marriage. Upon the anullment of her marriage to King Louis VII in 1152, Eleonore married Henry, Cound d'Anjou, Duke of Normandy who became King Henry II of England. Thus, the addition of Aquitaine made Henry much more powerful than Louis, and allowed him to be frequently hostile to Louis. When she married Henry, her dowry brought him the Guyenne and Poitou. By fighting Philippe Auguste, King of France, she successfully defended the rights of her son, Richard the Lion Hearted.
