Imagine having this fine women
\nIn your family tree
\nOne such lass that I know well
\nHas this recognizee
\nA blackwater tiger
\nA women so revered
\nWho provided some ten children
\nAnd her intelligence appeared<\/p>\n
Priceless in her regent roles
\nAnd family life as well
\nSuch a hard working soulful lass
\nUnder a godly spell
\nHer early life remarkable
\nBeing acquainted to
\nA blood line as superior
\nAnd as it turns out true<\/p>\n
She married Prince Louis
\nIn 1137
\nA teenage bride of beauty
\nHardly made in Heaven
\nWhen her father died a few months later
\nLouis became the King
\nKing of England and of France
\nSuch prestige that did bring<\/p>\n
And two fine girls Marie and Alice
\nBeautiful were they
\nBut Louix wanted a son and heir
\nAnd tensions followed, they
\nHenry was always karping on
\nAbout the son he never had
\nAnd so they split
\nAnd she moved back
\nto Aquitaine
\nBut far from sad<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t need a man around
\nBut sadly women on their own
\nMen went about kidnapping them
\nFor their possessions
\nIt was known
\nAnd so a suitor came along
\nAnd took her for his wife
\nHenry Count of Anjou
\nHe wanted to spend his life<\/p>\n
With her
\nAnd in just eight weeks
\nMarried her and she
\nHer Marriage to LouiseV11
\nanulled
\nOnce again you see
\nIn 1154 King Henry 11 he
\nBecame
\nthe right olde King of England
\nAnd with him she did claim<\/p>\n
To have had Eight more fine children
\nAnd played an active part
\nBut travelled back to Aquitaine
\nFor its where she left her heart
\nHenry had neglected the children
\nAnd so she
\nPlotted with the eldest
\nA revolt so they could be <\/p>\n
Once again upon the throne
\nThe revolt however failed
\nAnd Henry captured his lady fair
\nAnd she was sadly jAiled
\nAnd there she stayed for 16 years
\nIn Old Sarum in Wiltshire
\nIn comfort surely unlike jail
\nAnd the sheriff did inspire<\/p>\n
Many to make her happy
\nAnd when Richard became King
\nHe had her released
\nAnd Eleanor was able to do her thing
\nShe took on various political posts
\nAnd for Fifteen years
\nWhilst Richard was at the crusades
\nAquitaine me dears<\/p>\n
Occupied her many hours
\nAnd she died in 1204
\nWhen she had reached the grand old age
\nOf 82 I\u2019m sure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
