	Eleanor of Provence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eleanor of Provence (c 1223 – 26 June 1291) was Queen Consort of King Henry III of England.
		Born in Aix-en-Provence, she was the daughter of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence (1198-1245) and Beatrice of Savoy (1206-1266), the daughter of Tomasso, Count of Savoy and his second wife Marguerite of Geneva.
		Eleanor seems to have been especially devoted to her eldest son, Edward; when he was deathly ill in 1246, she stayed with him at the abbey at Beaulieu for three weeks, long past the time allowed by monastic rules.

	Reviews in History: Eleanor of Provence: Queenship in Thirteenth-Century England
		Eleanor of Provence’s arrival in England was accompanied by an influx of her Savoyard relations, most notably her maternal uncles, for whom Eleanor was to emerge as a figurehead and who were to provide her with valuable political and emotional support.
		Eleanor entertained foreign dignitaries, secured financial assistance for the Crown from the papacy, guarded former rebels at Windsor Castle and helped her second son to purchase the marriage of Aveline, heiress to the Aumale and Devon earldoms, from Aveline’s two female guardians (networking with women again and in a typically gendered context!).
		Eleanor’s piety followed her husband’s lead and joined husband and wife together: she readily identified with Henry III’s feelings for the cult of Edward the Confessor and, like her husband, was a great patron of the friars, turning to three Franciscans, Adam Marsh, Thomas of Hales and William Batale, for personal spiritual advice.

	PROVENCE - LoveToKnow Article on PROVENCE
		At this period the name of Provence was restricted to the southern cities, which had passed from the Gothic to the Frankish rule; it did not regain its original signification and denote the country extending as far as Lyonnais till the end of the 8th and the beginning of the 9th centuries.
		The counts of Provence had, from about the middle of the 11th century, a tendency to add the name of their usual residence after their title, and thus the lordships, known later under the names of the countships of Arles (or more properly Provence), of Nice, and of Venaissin, grew up.
		He was able to protect Provence from the consequences of the war of the Albigenses, and it was not until after his death (1209), during the minority of his son Raymund-Brenger IV., who succeeded him uhder the regency of his uncle, Peter of Aragon, and later~ of his mother Gersende, that Provence was involved in.

	FARRANDS IN FRANCE - APRIL 2000
		In Provence, where the mountains drop down to the sea and communities perch on crags or cling to hillsides, the rockiness of the landscape also bears witness to the advent of a new, warmer season, in the orchards, vineyards, in the flower markets, and in so many other areas of life.
		Eleanor is a hard taskmaster when it comes to setting itineraries, but I am grateful for this, as other than Orange, the Pont du Gard, Carcassonne, and Nîmes I left it up to her to determine where we went and what we saw.
		Both Eleanor and I were tired so after an hour or so of delightful conversation during which we set our plans to meet the next day for Easter lunch we were off to Trémolat and the hotel, which we found to have been really battered by the storm.

		That this Eleanor should become Queen of England is somewhat a surprise for she was not a wealthy heiress; in Castile she contended (unsuccessfully) for property with a number of half-brothers from her father's first marriage.
		Although our picture of Eleanor of Castile inevitably is colored by this anomalous situation of the constant existence of two queens during Eleanor of Castile's entire reign, and that the younger Eleanor was never widow nor regent, however, does not mean that her life is not a most interesting one to study.
		Eleanor of Castile's prerogatives as queen may be a very small part of the story, and she may have been less of a traditional queen figure as the reflection of the queen of heaven than her mother in law Eleanor of Provence, but this is only to be expected.

	Reviews in History - author's response: Eleanor of Provence: Queenship in Thirteenth-Century England
		The one genuine network which I felt I detected in the life of Eleanor of Provence was the informal group of aristocratic women whose religious life around 1250 may have owed much to the spiritual direction of the Franciscan Thomas of Hales (with helpful book-lending by Matthew Paris).
		Again, my whole investigation of Eleanor of Provence's life depends on the basic process of a woman's lifecycle, but it is entirely possible to discuss marriage, child-bearing, marital relations and widowhood without labouring the point that all this stems from the plain fact of 'gender'.
		Finally, I wrote that it was conceivable that Eleanor held back from the bloody slaughter that would have followed an invasion in 1264, not that she was 'anxious' to avoid it; I am afraid that is too strong, and the point is of some importance.

		At 28, Henry married Eleanor of Provence in Canterbury Cathedral on January 14, 1236.
		Yet in spite of the strength of their family life, Eleanor is remembered as one of the most despised of the English queens; in 1236 Londoners mobbed her barge and drove her to flee to the bishop of London's palace of St. Paul's.
		As she grows from child to woman we see Eleanor use the available avenues of power-patronage, arranged marriages, and ceremonial events- to benefit her family and her loyal corps of retainers who, throughout her life, formed the base of Eleanor's political strength.
