Eleanor of Aquitaine was a French noblewoman in medieval times. She held the title, in her own right, of Duchess of Aquitaine- a very large and extremely wealthy region of Old France. She was a crowned queen on two separate occasions. The first, as Queen of France, as the wife of the French king Louis VII, and the second, as Queen of England when she became the wife of the English King Henry II. She was also the mother of three English kings, Henry The Young, Richard The Lionheart, and John I. During Eleanor's lifetime she was quite possibly the most powerful woman in all of Europe.
