• Notes

  Eleanor's name appears on a charter for the first time in 1129, when shewas seven. She, her parents and her brother witnessed the parchment, andshe signed her initials in ink. Eleanor went on crusade with first husband Louis VII. Eleanor's marriage to Louis was an"ed on the grounds of consanguinity. When Eleanor married Henry, she brought with her 42 gowns, 14 pairs ofshoes, 5 mantles, and 10 undershirts. Eleanor's ancestral palace at Poitiers is now the Palace of Justice. Someof the changes that she made can still be seen. A character in Shakespeare's play, King John. Constance of Brittany makes a bitter speech--the use of baby talk makesit one of the most cynical in all of Shakespeare's plays, which is sayinga lot--to her son Arthur and his grandmother Eleanor, who has backed Johninstead of Arthur: "Do, child, go to it grandam, child; Give grandamkingdom, and it grandam will Give it a plum, a cherry, and a fig. There'sa good grandam!..." King John Act 2, scene 1 Source: RoyaList
