Did King Henry have problems with his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine?

Yes. Eleanor decided at one point that her son would make a better king than her husband so she formed an army and attacked Henry. She lost the attempt to dethrone him and as a result he sent her to a castle away from everyone. She stayed there 10 years on "house arrest" or in exile. A good film on this is "A Lion in Winter" with Kathern Hepburn as Eleanor and Burton as Henry. Postnote: "Lion in Winter" (the film) had Peter O'Toole as Henry II, not Richard Burton. Anthony Hopkins also played as one of their sons.
