Royalty.

She was the youngest daughter of Thibaut IV de Blois and Mathilde of Carinthia.

She married Louis VII on November 13th, 1160 in Paris, five weeks after his second wifeConstance de Castille had died.

They both liked each other and she had some influence on him. Louis married his daughters, Marie and Alix, from his first marriage to her brothers, Henri and Thibaut. In 1165 she gave birth to the longed for successor, Philippe. Two girls, Alix and Agnes, were born in 1170 and 1171. Following tradition Philippe was crowned king when he was fourteen. At this time Louis was very ill and Adèle hoped to act as a regent for him if Louis died suddenly. Philippe surprised everyone and claimed the power for himself and choose a wife without his parents consent. Her husband died in 1180 and Philippe became king. During his absence on the crusade she reigned the kingdom following strict rules set by him. After his return to France she quietly retired. Following her last wish she was buried in Pontigny instead of St. Denis.

Adela of Champagne (French: Adèle; c. 1140 – 4 June 1206), also known as Adelaide and Alix, was Queen of Franceas the third wife of Louis VII.

She was the daughter of Theobald II, Count of Champagne, and Matilda of Carinthia, and was named after her grandmother, Adela of Normandy.
Louis and Adela married on 18 October 1160, five weeks after his previous wife, Constance of Castile, died in childbirth. Queen Adèle was the mother of Louis VII's only son, Philip II, and of the Byzantine empress Agnes.[2]
Adela was active in the political life of the kingdom, along with her brothers Henry I, Theobald V, and Guillaume aux Blanches Mains. Henry and Theobald were married to daughters of Louis VII and Eleanor of Aquitaine.[3] Adela and her brothers felt their position threatened when the heiress of Artois, Isabella of Hainault, married Adèle's son Philip.

Adèle formed an alliance with Hugh III, Duke of Burgundy, and Philip of Flanders, and even tried to interest Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. War broke out in 1181, and relations became so bad that Philip attempted to divorce Isabella in 1184.
Although her power decreased after the accession of Philip in 1180, Queen Adela acted as regent in 1190 while Philip was away on the Third Crusade. She returned to the shadows when he returned in 1192 but participated in the founding of many abbeys.
Queen Adela died on 4 June 1206 in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and was buried in the church of Pontigny Abbey nearAuxerre.
