As a girl, she lived on her father's land of Poirot. Around the age of thirteen or fifteen, she married Louis VII, the heir of the king of France, and just a month later he was crowned and she became queen; she lived in the palace with her husband. After fifteen years, the Church annulled the marriage. For the next eight weeks Eleanor lived at her home in Aquitaine again, before marrying Henry II, heir of the throne of England. She lived with him, presumably in the palace. Two years after the wedding, they became king and queen of England. It appears that during her queenship Eleanor, being active in her husband's duties, traveled between the palace and her lands or Aquitaine and Poirot. Due to rebellions against her husband that she and her sons attempted, Henry II eventually imprisoned her in various castles of his. After his death, she was a free woman again and lived on her own lands, as she had as a child.
