	Odo Of Aquitaine - LoveToKnow 1911
		In 718 he appears as the ally of Chilperic II., king of Neustria, who was fighting against the Austrasian mayor of the palace, Charles Martel; but after the defeat of Chilperic at Soissons in 719 he probably made peace with Charles by surrendering to him the Neustrian king and his treasures.
		Odo was also obliged to fight the Saracens who invaded the southern part of his kingdom, and inflicted a severe defeat upon them at Toulouse in 721.
		When, however, he was again attacked by Charles Martel, the Saracens renewed their ravages, and Odo was defeated near Bordeaux; he was compelled to crave protection from Charles, who took up this struggle and gained his momentous victory at Poitiers in 732.

		Already queenly at 15, Eleanor is heiress to Aquitaine and Poitou in her own right and therefore outright prey to any vassal or lord able to get to her first upon her father's untimely death.
		Years before Eleanor of Aquitaine gained prominence as a strong-willed queen of England, she was the 15-year-old heiress to the richest province of southern France.
		Surviving indifference, betrayal and a natural prejudice against the female sex, the extraordinary Eleanor of Aquitaine is born to rule, Queen of France, future Queen of England and mother of Richard the Lionheart; unfortunately Louis is too blinded by asceticism and his own virtue to appreciate the value of such a consort.
