@budsterman5 Eleanor had 5 sons with King Henry II:
William IX, Count of Poitiers - who died at the young age of 3
Henry the Young King - He was a junior king, kind of like an apprentice to Henry II but died before he could step up to the throne
King Richard I - Took up the throne after the two Henrys death
Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany - Died during Richards reign only having a daughter
Prince John - Known for his incompetent rule. Hes the bad guy in the Robin Hood stories
-
@artimishunter1999 yes two. John and... Edward maybe? Not sure the about the 3rd.
-
Didn't Eleanor have more sons than just Richard? Amazing job!
-
This is great! I love it! It really is a great summery of her life. I was watching BBC's Monarchy series, and when they mentioned Henry (her Henry) they did not mention her, so I wanted more info-so thanks!
-
Cool location. Where did you film this?
-
@historyteachers kinda sad that if you really think about it they didn't know sex of the child is determine by the father not the mother
-
Thank you so much for these videos. They're the reason I'm passing AP World History.
-
If you haven't created a music video for this person already, I think 'Richard the Lionheart' would be a great idea.

Eleanor of Aqiutaine was awesome! She was an intelligent woman way ahead of her time! And she was quite cunning!

@horsestar818 Um, guess you didn't listen to the entire song, as the "No sons" part was with her first failed marriage to Louis...we mention her sons with Henry later.

Whatever else Eleanor of Aquitaine may have been, she was both a wife and a mother of kings. Did she possess the fabled beauty of Helen of Troy to capture the hearts of two kings? Nope. (Though she was, by no means ugly). What she possessed was some of the best land in France, and a talent for adapting to the world around her. She is well worth studying as she was, without question, the most powerful and independently wealthy (RARE) woman of her time! What a superb introduction to her!
