Note 41 — BOOK VII[1]
Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of France and later of England (circa 1122-1203), was married at the age of fifteen to Louis VII. King of France, whom she accompanied to the Holy Land in 1147. Here she distinguished herself by the levity of her conduct, so much so that, in 1152, Louis obtained a divorce and Eleanor, two years later, married Henry Count of Anjou and Duke of Normandy, soon to become Henry II. King of England. The second marriage was no happier than the first.—T.
