    Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in Europe, as well as the most eligible bride after she inherited the title of "Duchess of Aquitaine, France. She first married King Louis of France and became Queen Consort of France. This marriage was annulled after 15 years because she did not provide King Louis of France with a son. She then married King Henry II of England. She was influential in ruling England and France. King Henry and Eleanor ruled over an area from the Pyrenees mountains in the south to the Cheviots mountains in the north. Their children would rule England and parts of Europe for the next 330 years.
