∙ 14y agoEleanor didn't go to "prison" but she was sent into exile/house arrest by her husband because she tried to overthrow the crown with her sons. This made her a traitor even though she was the queen. He had her removed to a distant castle and kept under guard. When he died she was free and lived until 82 or 83 years old. She was the wife of 2 knigs, the mother of 2 kings and the grandmother of a queen.
