What influence did Eleanor have on English history?
Eleanor of Aquitaine is the wife of two kings and the mother of two kings. Her influence begins as wife and queen to Henry II and later with the succession of her two sons Richard and John to the throne. While married to King Louis VII of France, she met the young Prince Henry of England. Louis annulled the marriage with Eleanor as she had not given him an heir to the throne. She married the prince who later became king when when there was no heir to the throne from King Stephen. Now Queen of England, Eleanor and now Henry the Second became two of the most powerful monarchs in English history. Between them Henry owned almost half of France which made him a vassal to the King of France that he often refused to honor. Eleanor brought the Aquitaine to the marriage and Henry inherited the Anjou from his father. These two major land areas in the country of France caused a great heartache for the King of France as he never really regained control of his own country. Queen Eleanor gave birth to many children including several sons. When the eldest son, Henry, died Richard became the heir to the throne of England. Eleanor used her influence and control of the Aquitaine to manipulate Richard. Henry II groomed the youngest son, John, to succeed him but John will end up being one if not the worst king in English history. So two of her sons will become kings of England, Richard I the Lionhearted and John I who will sign the Magna Carta. Her influence and impact on this period of English history is immeasurable. She is a fascinating woman of history and was very important in the history of two countries.
