• Notes

  Eleanor gained the title Queen Consort Eleanor of England on 19 Aug 1274, Comtesse de Montreuil in March 1279 and Comtesse de Ponthieu in March 1279. Eleanor of Castile was the first Queen Consort of Edward I of England. Her given name was Leonor. For the ceremony marking the first anniversary of her death, 49 candle bearers appear, each candle commemorating one year of her life. She married Edward I in October of 1254 and became queen in 1272. Theirs was one of the most successful royal marriages of all time, and she often accompanied her husband on his military campaigns, giving birth to his fourth son (later King Edward II) at Caernarfon in 1284, immediately after the conquest of Wales. She gave birth to fifteen children all told, six of whom survived into adulthood, but only four of whom outlived their parents. Eleanor is remembered warmly by history as the queen who inspired the Eleanor crosses, but she was not so loved in her own time. Her English subjects considered her to be too foreign and greedy. She and Edward seemed to have been more devoted to one another than to their offspring. Their daughter Joan of Acre was left to be raised by her grandmother in Ponthieu for much of her childhood. When their son Henry lay dying at Guildford, neither of his royal parents undertook the short journey from London to see him. http://lawgenealogy.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=lawgenealogy&view=0&pid=6066&rand=497183541
