 The Musical Influence of Eleanor of Aquitaine
Eleanor's impact as a patron of troubadour music was an essential accomplishment of her life, yet much of her musical influence is displaced by her political importance as a keystone figure in the medieval history of France and England; this is evident upon review of any historical text concerning her, including information on the Internet.
Her lifelong patronage of the troubadour music of her home region directly resulted in the introduction of this oldest known genre of medieval secular music throughout France, and to a lesser extent, the Norman court of England.
Richard the Lion-Hearted, was a troubadour himself, and her two daughters from Louis, Marie and Aelis helped to spread the music of the trouveres throughout northern France once the troubadour movement started to fall out of favor in the thirteenth century.

 1669 - Paris - Académie Royale de Musique - History of Scholarly Societies
This Academy, like all other Royal Academies whose functions were later carried on under the auspices of the Institut de France, was based in Paris, as was the Institut de France.
According to p.29 of Institut de France (1995), Bonaparte decided, on the advice of a commission, to resurrect the former academies, but within the bosom of the Institut; so, on 1803, January 23, the Institut was re-organized into four classes corresponding to the academies suppressed by the Revolution.
On 1816, March 21, Louis XVIII issued an order fixing the statutes of the Institut; one notable change was the return of the designation of Académie to the constituent parts of the Institut (Institut de France (1995), p.310).
