Eleanor of Aquitaine

Okay, First, I get all this info from Wikipedia. So, now to my topic. Eleanor of Aquitaine was born on an unknown summer date in 1122. Eleanor was the eldest child of William X and Aenor de Chatelleraut. Eleanor had 1 sister and 1 brother, Petronilla and William. William and Aenor sadly died on a trip to Talmont-by-the-sea. Even more disappointing, William was only four. Now, William X was the duke of Aquitaine, and the throne is given to the oldest son, so with William dead, Eleanor was the heir to the throne, as Petronilla was 2 years younger. Eleanor was very beautiful. Multiple men were madly in love with her. Eleanor's father was becoming sad so he went on a long walk with some peasants to the shrine of Saint James de Compostela to renew his soul, but sadly died of food poisoning along the way. That left Eleanor and Petra (Petronilla's nickname,) orphans, BUT, Eleanor was engaged to be married to Louis of France, and was going to be soon, so she would be a princess as well as a duchess. 5 days after their marriage Louis' Father died of dysentery, so Eleanor was now a queen. On Christmas day, 1137 Louis and Eleanor were crowned. Eleanor's wedding present a crystal and rock vase 847 years today, still here! <breaking news after a few weeks of marriage Eleanor was Jailed until 1189 when their marriage was annulled. Eleanor then married an English king. Eleanor had 6 children her favorite was Richard the Lionheart, died in 1199 Eleanor spent the rest of her life mourning over Richard's death. Eleanor's tomb depicts her holding a book to represent her Intelligence and love of books.
