Eleanor of Aquitaine — Duchess of Aquitaine, queen of France then queen of England
Heiress to the kingdom’s greatest fief, queen of France for fifteen years and then queen of England for thirty-five, she carried Aquitaine from one husband to the other and opened three centuries of war between the two crowns. She was still governing at eighty, and no one knows exactly on which day she died. (Editorial synthesis)
Eleanor of Aquitaine died in 1204 (Julian calendar). (source: Encyclopædia Britannica)
