She's one of my favorite Queens as well. A woman with a very strong personnality, in times where women were not really considered...

She had two daughters, Marie and Alix, with her first husband, King Louis VII of France.

There are many reasons behind their separation : Eleanor's supposed infidelity during the Second Crusade, many arguments between her and Louis (she apparently even said of him "Louis is more a monk than a King")
She married Henry only six weeks after the marriage's annulation!
