Eleanor of Aquitaine: Duchess, Queen, Queen, and modern major General. Not bad for a 12th century woman. Of course, the life of a monarch is never a simple one and no marriage is without its hiccups. Happy Valentine's Day!
Special thanks to Lily Jurskis for lending me her vocal cords.

Eleanor of Aquitaine was a duchess of the biggest duchy in France, queen of France, queen of England and a leader of the Crusade. All that as a woman in the 12th century.

Eleanor was the heir of William X, the duke of Aquitaine, which is almost a third of today’s France and was a lot larger than the king’s territory. After the death of her father, Eleanor married Prince Louis, who became king after the death of King Louis the Fat.
The Pope ordered for the Second Crusade to begin and wanted the new King Louis to command it. Louis accepted and Eleanor decided to come with her husband. During the crusade, Eleanor was influenced by her uncle and argued with the king about what territories they should attack.
This argument ended with an annulment of the marriage, and two months later, Eleanor married Henry II, son of the king of England. She bore him five children, three of which were sons, but Henry wasn’t loyal to his wife and openly had relationships with other women.
Enraged by this, Eleanor convinced her sons to rebel against their father, and Henry imprisoned her for 16 years as a consequence.
She was freed by her son Richard the Lionheart, the new king of England. When Richard left for the Third Crusade, Eleanor acted as a queen regent in his absence.
She died at the age of 82, outliving most of her children.

*Project requested by user/WinefrideofWales
She was one of the most powerful women of the Middle Ages. As the daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine, the duchess (born 1122?) received a first-class education and was brought up in one of Europe's most aristocratic courts. The duchess became an heiress at the age of 15 after the death of her only brother and her father in 1137.
Eleanor married Louis VII of France that same year and in the course of time bore him two daughters. Despite this, their marriage was fraught with problems, which was compounded by the fact that Louis was determined to have a son as an heir. Five years after Louis's failed crusade to Constantinople and Jerusalem, he and Eleanor divorced in 1152.
Surprisingly rapidly (at least to modern eyes) Eleanor married Henry of Anjou only two months after the divorce to Louis VII. Henry was soon crowned King of England in 1154, and with Eleanor at his side became father to three daughters and five sons in all over the next 20 years. Eleanor was very much involved in the running of Henry's empire, making frequent trips between their estates in England and France.
Disaster struck in 1173 when two of Eleanor's sons involved her in a scheme against their father, Henry, which Henry caught onto and had Eleanor subsequently imprisoned. She had to wait until Henry's death in 1189 for her son, Richard I, to order her release. Afterwards, Eleanor continued to embroil herself in government matters, even though she was in her 60's, which for the times was considered very elderly. When her son Richard I went off on the Third Crusade, she acted as regent in his absence, and was ultimately involved in negotiations for his release after he was taken captive by German forces on the way home. Years later, after Richard's death in 1199, Eleanor and her youngest son, John, succeeded him, though Eleanor's activities in English affairs had altogether ceased by then as she turned her attentions to matters in Aquitaine where she spent the rest of her life, which expired on March 31, 1204. She was buried in the abbey church at Fontevrault beside Henry II.

*While I'm aware that the appearance I've given Eleanor in terms of age is nowhere near the range of her actual age at the time of her death (neither is her effigy, for that matter), her beauty was legendary for quite some years, and I thought best to illustrate that by showing her in her prime.
*There is no real description of what features made Eleanor beautiful. Some artwork during that time showed images that represented her only in context, rather than appearance. Those drawings suggested that she had light brown or "fawn" colored hair. Other accounts considered her to be a "contemporary beauty", which during the fads of that time would suggest light skin, a prominent forehead, defined chin, sparse eyebrows, and full cheeks.

“Not in Alexandria, or Rome or Camelot has there been such a Queen,” are among the colorful words used to describe Queen Eleanor in this masterpiece. I have loved Kate Hepburn ever since I was a kid. For me she is perhaps the greatest American film actress, and this is I think her greatest triumph captured on film. For me she’s Eleanor. I am in the middle of an Alison Weir biography on the life of my favorite Queen, and decided to show my love for her various different re-incarnations across the film world.
Glenn Close is one of the finest and most diverse actresses of today, and she continues to get better and better over the years. I had not originally paid much attention to this Eleanor when it first debuted on television, but I have come to watch her performance many, many times over the years and appreciate it today. She has some very beautiful scenes in this film. I would describe her as a very demonstrative Eleanor, she has an outstanding, regal physical presence she exhibits in several scenes, yet she is an extremely vulnerable Eleanor with a high-strung temperament. Her face is luminous and expressive.
The high emotion levels Glenn brings make me inclined to take what she says at face-value more often, I think that is very dangerous to do with Kate, whose performance and character is more methodical. I think Glenn's Eleanor resembles her eldest surviving son Richard in her temperament, but I think Kate's is actually closer to Geoffrey's.
Kate is of course oozing with natural charisma, but I also think she's a master at weaving gold into platinum when it comes to the delivery of Goldman's delectable dialogue. She has more wit, Glenn, and I think the cast in general of the 2003 adaptation are often more serious in tone.
I enjoy making comparisons between the two. I like both performances, and I think this particular scene was a great score for both actresses. Who do you prefer her? Do you like both, just one, neither?
Goddess of the silver screen versus a living legend.
Queen Eleanor is estranged from her three sons and husband Henry II, who has placed her under house arrest. Eleanor wishes for her oldest surviving and favorite son Richard to succeed after Henry is gone. While Henry grooms his favorite, John the less capable and youngest son, to succeed. When Eleanor gets an invitation by Henry to come to court at Chignon for Christmas, she gets busy with her plots! Her first priority is to talk to Richard. In this scene her prodigal son brings out both the mother and politician in her.
You might also want to discuss what you think of the two Richards. It is always a pleasure to see the young and already preciously talented Anthony Hopkins. Andrew Howard, who acts opposite Glenn Close was a revelation to me, I’ve seen so little of his work, but can certainly see that he is a brilliant actor based on his interpretation of Richard the Lionheart.

I had to make this longer video of Henry and Eleanor.
They say Rosamund Clifford was Henry's true love but who really knows.
Once the lust and desire faded away for Henry and Eleanor, the power struggle began
Also, it didn't help that they had very ambitious sons. I am sure there was some love, I mean they had eight children together

Eleanor of Aquitaine
Eleanor of Aquitaine (French: Aliénor/Éléonore; 1122 or 1124 – 1 April 1204) was one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in western Europe during the High Middle Ages and a member of the Ramnulfid dynasty of rulers in southwestern France. She became Duchess of Aquitaine in her own right while she was still a child, then later Queen consort of France (1137–1152) and of England (1154–1189). She was the patron of literary figures such as Wace, Benoît de Sainte-Maure, and Bernart de Ventadorn.
Eleanor's succession to the duchy of Aquitaine in 1137 made her the most eligible bride in Europe. Three months after she became duchess, she married King Louis VII of France, son of her guardian, King Louis VI. As Queen of France, she participated in the unsuccessful Second Crusade. Soon after, Eleanor sought an annulment of her marriage, but her request was rejected by Pope Eugene III. However, after the birth of her second daughter Alix, Louis agreed to an annulment given that their union had not produced a son after fifteen years of marriage. The marriage was annulled on 11 March 1152 on the grounds of consanguinity within the fourth degree. Their daughters were declared legitimate and custody was awarded to Louis, while Eleanor's lands were restored to her.

Aquitaine
Aquitaine (English /ˈækwᵻteɪn/; French pronunciation: [akitɛn]; Occitan: Aquitània; Basque: Akitania; Spanish: Aquitania), archaic Guyenne/Guienne (Occitan: Guiana) was a traditional region of France, and was a administrative region of France until 1 January 2016. It is now part of the new region Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Charentes. It is situated in the south-western part of Metropolitan France, along the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees mountain range on the border with Spain. It is composed of the five departments of Dordogne, Lot-et-Garonne, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Landes and Gironde. In the Middle Ages Aquitaine was a kingdom and a duchy, whose boundaries fluctuated considerably.
History
Ancient history
There are traces of human settlement by prehistoric peoples, especially in the Périgord, but the earliest attested inhabitants in the south-west were the Aquitani, who were not proper Celtic people, but more akin to the Iberians (see Gallia Aquitania). Although a number of different languages and dialects were in use in the area during ancient times, it is most likely that the prevailing language of Aquitaine during the late pre-historic to Roman period was an early form of the Basque language. This has been demonstrated by various Aquitanian names and words that were recorded by the Romans, and which are currently easily readable as Basque. Whether this Aquitanian language (Proto-Basque) was a remnant of a Vasconic language group that once extended much farther, or whether it was generally limited to the Aquitaine/Basque region is not known. One reason the language of Aquitaine is important is because Basque is the last surviving non-Indo-European language in western Europe and it has had some effect on the languages around it, including Spanish and, to a lesser extent, French.

Eleanor
Eleanor (usually pronounced /ˈɛlənɔːr/ in North America but /ˈɛlənə/ elsewhere, variants Elinor, Ellinor, Elenor, Eleanore, Eleanour, Eleonor(a) among others; short form Leonor and variants) is a feminine given name. It was the name of a number of women of the high nobility in Western Europe during the High Middle Ages, originally from a Provençal name Aliénor.
In modern times, the name was popularly given in the United States in the 1910s to 1920s, peaking at rank 25 in 1920. It declined below rank 600 by the 1970s, but has again risen above rank 150 in the early 2010s.
Common hypocorisms include Ella, Ellie, Elly (etc.), Leonor, Leonora, Leonore, Leanora, Lenora, (etc.) Nell, Nella, Nellie, Nelly, Nelda, Nelle, (etc.), Nora(h), Noreen, Norene, Nonie (etc.)
Origin
The name derives from the Provençal name Aliénor which became Eléanor or Eleonore in the northern Langue d'oïl and from there also to English.
The name probably originates as that of Eleanor of Aquitaine (1120s–-1204). She was the daughter of Aénor de Châtellerault, and it has been suggested that having been baptized Aenor after her mother, she was called alia Aenor, i.e. "the other Aenor" in childhood and would have kept that name in adult life; the name Aénor itself appears to be a Latinization of a Germanic name of uncertain form.

With Eleanor out of the way he can have his dalliances with his young mistress ('Yuliya Vysotskaya' (qv)). Needless to say the queen is not pleased, although she still has affection for the king. Working through her sons, she plots the king's demise and the rise of her second and preferred son, Richard ('Andrew Howard (I)' (qv)), to the throne. The youngest son, John ('Rafe Spall' (qv)), an overweight buffoon and the only son holding his father's affection is the king's choice after the death of his first son, young Henry. But John is also overly eager for power and is willing to plot his father's demise with middle brother, Geoffrey ('John Light (I)' (qv)) and the young king of France, Phillip ('Jonathan Rhys Meyers' (qv)). Geoffrey, of course sees his younger brother's weakness and sees that route as his path to power. Obviously political and court intrigue ensues.

Kate Hepburn and Glenn Close as Eleanor of Aquitaine
“Not in Alexandria, or Rome or Camelot has there been such a Queen,” are among the colorful words used to describe Queen Eleanor in this masterpiece. I have loved Kate Hepburn ever since I was a kid. For me she is perhaps the greatest American film actress, and this is I think her greatest triumph captured on film. For me she’s Eleanor. I am in the middle of an Alison Weir biography on the life of my favorite Queen, and decided to show my love for her various different re-incarnations across the film world. Glenn Close is one of the finest and most diverse actresses of today, and she continues to get better and better over the years. I had not originally paid much attention to this Eleanor when it first debuted on television, but I have come to watch her performance many, many times over ...

Eleanor was the heir of William X, the duke of Aquitaine, which is almost a third of today’s France and was a lot larger than the king’s territory. After the death of her father, Eleanor married Prince Louis, who became king after the death of King Louis the Fat.
The Pope ordered for the Second Crusade to begin and wanted the new King Louis to command it. Louis accepted and Eleanor decided to come with her husband. During the crusade, Eleanor was influenced by her uncle and argued with the king about what territories they should attack.
This argument ended with an annulment of the marriage, and two months later, Eleanor married Henry II, son of the king of England. She bore him five children, three of which were sons, but Henry wasn’t loyal to his wife and openly had relationships with other women.
Enraged by this, Eleanor convinced her sons to rebel against their father, and Henry imprisoned her for 16 years as a consequence.
She was freed by her son Richard the Lionheart, the new king of England. When Richard left for the Third Crusade, Eleanor acted as a queen regent in his absence.
She died at the age of 82, outliving most of her children.

She was one of the most powerful women of the Middle Ages. As the daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine, the duchess (born 1122?) received a first-class education and was brought up in one of Europe's most aristocratic courts. The duchess became an heiress at the age of 15 after the death of her only brother and her father in 1137.
Eleanor married Louis VII of France that same year and in the course of time bore him two daughters. Despite this, their marriage was fraught with problems, which was compounded by the fact that Louis was determined to have a son as an heir. Five years after Louis's failed crusade to Constantinople and Jerusalem, he and Eleanor divorced in 1152.
Surprisingly rapidly (at least to modern eyes) Eleanor married Henry of Anjou only two months after the divorce to Louis VII. Henry was soon crowned King of England in 1154, and with Eleanor at his side became father to three daughters and five sons in all over the next 20 years. Eleanor was very much involved in the running of Henry's empire, making frequent trips between their estates in England and France.
Disaster struck in 1173 when two of Eleanor's sons involved her in a scheme against their father, Henry, which Henry caught onto and had Eleanor subsequently imprisoned. She had to wait until Henry's death in 1189 for her son, Richard I, to order her release. Afterwards, Eleanor continued to embroil herself in government matters, even though she was in her 60's, which for the times was considered very elderly. When her son Richard I went off on the Third Crusade, she acted as regent in his absence, and was ultimately involved in negotiations for his release after he was taken captive by German forces on the way home. Years later, after Richard's death in 1199, Eleanor and her youngest son, John, succeeded him, though Eleanor's activities in English affairs had altogether ceased by then as she turned her attentions to matters in Aquitaine where she spent the rest of her life, which expired on March 31, 1204. She was buried in the abbey church at Fontevrault beside Henry II.

*While I'm aware that the appearance I've given Eleanor in terms of age is nowhere near the range of her actual age at the time of her death (neither is her effigy, for that matter), her beauty was legendary for quite some years, and I thought best to illustrate that by showing her in her prime.
*There is no real description of what features made Eleanor beautiful. Some artwork during that time showed images that represented her only in context, rather than appearance. Those drawings suggested that she had light brown or "fawn" colored hair. Other accounts considered her to be a "contemporary beauty", which during the fads of that time would suggest light skin, a prominent forehead, defined chin, sparse eyebrows, and full cheeks.

“Not in Alexandria, or Rome or Camelot has there been such a Queen,” are among the colorful words used to describe Queen Eleanor in this masterpiece. I have loved Kate Hepburn ever since I was a kid. For me she is perhaps the greatest American film actress, and this is I think her greatest triumph captured on film. For me she’s Eleanor. I am in the middle of an Alison Weir biography on the life of my favorite Queen, and decided to show my love for her various different re-incarnations across the film world.
Glenn Close is one of the finest and most diverse actresses of today, and she continues to get better and better over the years. I had not originally paid much attention to this Eleanor when it first debuted on television, but I have come to watch her performance many, many times over the years and appreciate it today. She has some very beautiful scenes in this film. I would describe her as a very demonstrative Eleanor, she has an outstanding, regal physical presence she exhibits in several scenes, yet she is an extremely vulnerable Eleanor with a high-strung temperament. Her face is luminous and expressive.
The high emotion levels Glenn brings make me inclined to take what she says at face-value more often, I think that is very dangerous to do with Kate, whose performance and character is more methodical. I think Glenn's Eleanor resembles her eldest surviving son Richard in her temperament, but I think Kate's is actually closer to Geoffrey's.
Kate is of course oozing with natural charisma, but I also think she's a master at weaving gold into platinum when it comes to the delivery of Goldman's delectable dialogue. She has more wit, Glenn, and I think the cast in general of the 2003 adaptation are often more serious in tone.
I enjoy making comparisons between the two. I like both performances, and I think this particular scene was a great score for both actresses. Who do you prefer her? Do you like both, just one, neither?
Goddess of the silver screen versus a living legend.
Queen Eleanor is estranged from her three sons and husband Henry II, who has placed her under house arrest. Eleanor wishes for her oldest surviving and favorite son Richard to succeed after Henry is gone. While Henry grooms his favorite, John the less capable and youngest son, to succeed. When Eleanor gets an invitation by Henry to come to court at Chignon for Christmas, she gets busy with her plots! Her first priority is to talk to Richard. In this scene her prodigal son brings out both the mother and politician in her.
You might also want to discuss what you think of the two Richards. It is always a pleasure to see the young and already preciously talented Anthony Hopkins. Andrew Howard, who acts opposite Glenn Close was a revelation to me, I’ve seen so little of his work, but can certainly see that he is a brilliant actor based on his interpretation of Richard the Lionheart.
