- Before Eleanor's father died he sent messengers to the king of France Loui the 6th, to ask for protection over Eleanor and to help find her a husband, because he was aware of how much danger Eleanor would be in when he died. Because a heiress with a lot of wealth and land is in danger of being kidnapped.

- Eleanor became queen of France, and Louis wanted to participate in the 2nd crusade. Which surprisingly Eleanor agreed to and decided she and her ladies would join the crusade with Louis.
- Well, ok then. I'll come too.
- By the way... I'm joining the 2nd crusade against Jerusalem
- The 2nd crusade ended horribly for Europe, and Louis's forces were completely killed. The only way Louis survived was hiding in a tree dressed as a clerk. In the second crusade Louis was perceived as incapable of commanding an army and a poor leader, but Eleanor was seen for her wiseness during the crusade.
- Eleanor and Louis dissolved their marriage. Without protection of the King, she was at risk of being kidnapped because she was so wealthy. So she married King Henry II of England in 1152 and they had 8 children. She lived into her 80s and was a very powerful and strong female leader.
