The marriage between Louis VII and Eleanor of Aquitaine was
unsuccessful for a number of reasons. Kings required male heirs and
Eleanor had produced only two dauthers, born in 1145 and 1149. There
were also serious differences; Eleanor felt that being married to Louis
was like being married to a monk. Louis in turn was probably dominated
sexually by his powerful wife and, as a result, lacked manliness in
contemporary eyes.
Deep discord flared up in 1149 on the Second Crusade, when Eleanor
was suspected of adultery with her uncle Raymond of Antioch. A
remarkable reconciliation was, however, later achieved on the return
journy by Pope Eugenius III which concluded with his arranging for the
couple to sleep in a bed which he himself had decked out with valuable
ornaments. But even this proved fruitless in the long term.
A divorce was granted to Eleanor and Louis by four French
archbishops on March 21, 1152 on grounds of consanguinity. The two had
ancestors in common within the degrees prohibited by the Church; a
common excuse at this time for dissolving an obviously failed marriage.
It is clear that Eleanor knew exactly what she wanted since she
immediately sent messengers to Henry of Anjou. They were married on
May 18, 1152, barely two months after the divorce was grant
