Eleanor of Aquitaine did not play a direct role in the Hundred Years' War, as she died in 1204, several decades before the conflict began in 1337. However, her marriage to Henry II of England established the Plantagenet claim to the vast territories of Aquitaine in France, which became a significant point of contention in the war. Her legacy and the territories she brought to the English crown contributed to the dynastic struggles that fueled the conflict.

She had 10 children by these two monarchs, most of whom went on to assume various noble or royal titles. Of these, the most famous is probably her sixth child and third son Richard I, King of England, who is better known as Richard the Lionheart.
