Birth of the Twins and Death of Eleanor of Aquitaine
On 1150, Eleanor of Aquitaine dies after giving birth to twin daughters, named Alix and Eleanor, after her husband had tried his best to save his own marriage with his first wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, dying at a young age, the people near her would feel sad about her but they know that her marriage with Louis VII would have ended in an annulment had Eleanor survived.
Marie, Eleanor's first daughter is crowned as the Duchess of Aquitaine, Gascony, and Countess of Poitou and betrothed to Geoffrey Fitzempress instead of the earlier proposed marriage between Marie and Henry Fitzempress, Marie of France is sent to the Bishop of Bordeaux for her own education, the marriage alliance between Aquitaine and Anjou will guarantee the win of Henry Fitzempress against Stephen of England.
Due to Eleanor and Louis’ issues with the House of Champagne, Constance of France is married off to Theobald V of Blois while Henry I of Champagne is married to Elizabeth of Vermandois, this would be also the reason for the later marriage between Louis VII and Adela of Champagne, the marriage between the Capetians and the Kin of Eleanor to the House of Champagne was done due to the issues started by the marriage of Alice of Aquitaine with Ralph of Vermandois.
