Who was Eleanor of Aquitaine-?
Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the most formidable and impressive women in Europe during the Middle Ages (lived 1122 - 1204). She was the Duchess of Aquitaine (in modern-day south-western France) from the age of 15, and this duchy (unlike some) was large, powerful and wealthy. . Eleanor was famously beautiful. Her wealth, status and beauty made her extremely eligible for marriage, and she married Louis VII, King of France, and later Henry II, King of England. 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. She had a hard and challenging life, with extremes from Regent of England to being imprisoned. She travelled extensively (for the time). Despite this, she would outlive all of her children save two, King John of England and Queen Eleanor of Castile (in modern-day Spain)

Joan of Arc was neither the first nor the only Gal in Armor- but Elizabeth Tudor was not.
