bullet  General Notes:

Countess of Provence

Born: Cir 1217, Aix-en-Provence, France
Marriage: Henry III of England on 14 Jan 1236 in Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent
Died: 24 Jun 1291, Amesbury Abbey, Wiltshire at age 74
General Notes:
After King Henry died she took the veil at Amesbury. Henry displeased the barons by filling government and church offices with foreign favorites, many of them relatives of his wife, Eleanor of Provence, whom he married in 1236, and by squandering money on Continental wars, especially in France.
Eleanor married Henry III of England, son of John I Lackland of England and Isabella of Angoulême Taillefer, on 14 Jan 1236 in Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent. (Henry III of England was born on 1 Oct 1207 in Winchester Castle, Hampshire, England, died on 16 Nov 1272 in Westminster Palace, London, England and was buried in Westminster Abbey, London, England.)
Marriage Notes:
The couple had nine children, four of whom survived: Edward I (1239 - 1307) Margaret (born 19.9. 1240) Beatrice (born 25.6. 1242) Edmund (born 14.3. 1245).
