 Aquitaine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The title of duke of Aquitaine, which had already been used by various little-known persons in the 7th century, was assumed at the end of the 9th by William I the Pious, count of Auvergne, the founder of the Abbey of Cluny.

Her father was William, styled the Toulousan, of Aquitaine, the tenth duke of that name to inherit the Aquitaine; not surprisingly, William X was the son of Eleanor's living grandfather, William IX, styled the Troubadour.
