Eleanor of Aquitaine was the daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine, an important landholder in what is modern France.
Her father made sure that she received a good education and she was taught about literature, languages and how to ride!
Her father expected her to marry a duke, prince or king, and this education would be very useful.
However, before he could see her married, the Duke of Aquitaine died, leaving Eleanor all of his lands.
Just 13 years old, Eleanor was now the rich and powerful Duchess of Aquitaine.
