!Daughter and co-heir of Raymond Berenger, Count of Provence. [Ped. of C harlemagne's Desc., Vol. I, p. 184, 279]
!Canterbury, 14 Jan 1236 -- 19-year-old Eleanor, second of four beautif ul daughters of the Count of Provence, was married in great splendour i n the cathedral at Canterbury to King Henry III. The bride had travell ed the length of France for the ceremony and was crowned in Westminster a bbey 16 days later. Henry spared no expense in renovating the palace of W estminster for his bride. Plumbing was installed, glass was fitted in t he windows, and built huge fireplaces in the palace. The king original ly negotiated for the hand of the Countess of Ponthieu, but changed his m ind when he was told of the four beauties of Provence. There was some h aggling over the dowry, but indications were that it soon became a love m atch. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 57]

Dau. of Raymond Berenger V, Count of Provence and Forcalquier, and Beat rice of Savoy; m. King Henry III of England. [Royalty for Commoners, p. 3 0]
m. Henry III; mother of Beatrix/Beatrice, Edward I, Margaret, Edmund, R ichard, John, Margaret, Catherine, William and Henry. [WFT Vol 12 Ped 1 152]
Edward was undoubtedly devoted to his first queen, Eleanor of Castile, d aughter of Ferdinand III of Castile and Jeanne of Dammartin, and it see ms that she valued her connections with France more than those with Cas tile. She did not bring a large number of kinsmen and compatriots to En gland in the way that her
mother-in-law had done, but some of her French relations were given pla ces in her household. She was probably only 12 at the time of her marri age, and her death in 1290 came when she was only 49. Her main activity w as the production of children, probably 15 in all, but she did manage t o share Edward's career to
a remarkable extent, accompanying him on crusade, and going to Wales an d Gascony with him.
Eleanor was a cultured woman. She possessed a library of romances, p resumably many of them of the Arthurian type. Eleanor was fond of Tapes tries, and even engaged in weaving them herself. She was probably not a s fond of chess and similar games as her husband, though there is a ref erence to her playing the game of Four Kings, probably a four-handed va riant of chess. A touching not in the accounts records that her clerks w ere sent to buy fruit from a Spanish ship which came to Portsmouth--eve n late in life she missed the
figs, pomegranates, oranges and lemons of her childhood.
There is a discordant element in Eleanor's career, concerning the ru nning of her estates. Investigations after her death into the activitie s of her estate managers produced an unattractive picture of high-hande d and extortionate behaviour. One charge, which was upheld, was that on e of Eleanor's reeves has seized a house from its owners, falsely procu ring their imprisonment, and dumping their baby in its cradle in the mi ddle of the road. [Edward I, p. 122-4]
Dau. of Raymond Berengar, count of Provence; queen of Henry III of Engl and (m. 1236). Although the marriage to Henry was prestigious--Eleanor' s sister, Margaret, had become the wife of Louis IX of France in 1234-- Eleanor brought no dowry with her. The king, however, provided generous ly for his young bride, who was still in her early teens, and the coupl e formed a strong mutual attachment, considered unusual by contemporari es. Henry showed considerable favour to two of her uncles, giving one, P eter of Savoy, the honour of Richmond in 1240, and the other, Boniface, t he archbishopric of Canterbury in 1241. As a result he was drawn into a n etwork of Savoyard intrigue, which created hostility to both king and q ueen. Eleanor was also extravagant: in the 1260s a payment of 20,000 ma rks made to her by the Londoners was swallowed up by her creditors abro ad. Eleanor bore Henry two sons and three daughters. When he died in 12 72, she retired to the great nunnery at Amesbury. After her death her s on, Edward I, paid off her continuing debts. [The Plantagenet Encyclope dia, p. 71-2]
