She served as regent of England during the absence of her spouse in France in 1253. Although Eleanor was completely devoted to her husband and staunchly defended him against the rebel Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, she was very unpopular among the Londoners.

On one occasion, Eleanor's barge was attacked by angry Londoners who pelted her with stones, mud, pieces of paving, rotten eggs and vegetables. Eleanor had five children, including the future King Edward I of England. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
