As I remember Louis VII divorced Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1152 but still have no sons with his second and third wives, however, Eleanor's daughter, Alix married the son of Henry II and Bertha of Brittany, the eldest son of Bertha, Conan died on 1147 and she remarried to Henry II of England on her fathers death while Eleanor of Aquitaine remarried to the Count of Toulouse, establishing the Kingdom of Aquitaine which would encompass lands from the Alps and Rhone Valley to the bay of Biscay including Provence, while Henry II profited from his son's marriage to Alix of France which caused him to annex France after the sonless death of Louis VII on 1180, dividing West Francia to the Kingdom of Normandy and the Aquitaine.

How could we prevent the partition of France in the 12th century
