Eleanor of Aquitaine (Civ6)

Eleanor of Aquitaine (c. 1122 – 1 April 1204) was duchess of Aquitaine, queen consort of both France and England, and queen mother of the latter twice, and is widely considered to have been one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in Medieval Europe. She leads both the English and the French in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm.
Eleanor earns the loyalty of the world through her patronage of the arts.
== Intro ==
 Duchess of Aquitaine, regent of two lands, patron of troubadours and judge of the court of love, ascend your throne again. Inspire the hearts of your subjects, that they will cheer you and flock to your banners, for all who know your reign know your compassion.
== In-Game ==
Eleanor of Aquitaine's unique agenda is Angevin Empire. She focuses on building up the Population of her cities and dislikes leaders whose nearby cities have a low Population.
Her leader ability is Court of Love. Great Works in her cities impose a cumulative penalty of -1 Loyalty per turn on foreign cities within 9 tiles, and a foreign city whose Loyalty falls to 0 immediately joins Eleanor's civilization if she is exerting the most Loyalty pressure on it.
== Detailed Approach ==
Eleanor of Aquitaine is unique in that she can rule either the French or English civilization. Great Works in her cities reduce Loyalty for other cities outside her civilization. If a city leaves another civilization due to a lack of Loyalty, and Eleanor's civilization is generating the most loyalty there, the city automatically joins her without becoming a Free City first. She expands her influence at the cost of nearby civilizations, regardless of whether playing as France or England, through the power of the arts.

Quote from Civilopedia 	In the name of the holy and indivisible Trinity, I am Eleanor, humble queen of the Franks and duchess of Aquitania by the grace of God. 	In nomine sancte et individue Trinitatis, ego Helienordis, Dei gratia humilis Francorum regina, et Aquitanorum ducissa. 	This is a Latin quote from her privilegium in the cartulary of Abbaye aux Dames in Saintes, France.Cartulaires inédits de la Saintonge by Théodore Grasilier Because its abbess, Agnès of Barbezieux (1134 – 1174), was her relative, Eleanor became a generous donor to the abbey.

Delegation: Be pleased to accept my gifts: a crystal vase, wine, truffles, and a dozen troubadours to enliven your court.
Accepts Delegation From Player: Your delegation has been welcomed as guests to my court. I will send you a copy of the poems written to mark the occasion.
Rejects Delegation From Player: Paltry fare, offered badly, has no place in my court.
Accepts Player's Declaration of Friendship: Yes, you are indeed a good friend to me, and I am pleased to recognize you as such.
Rejects Player's Declaration of Friendship: Your admiration is flattering, but I reject it.
Requests Declaration of Friendship: So few understand the art of the monarch as we do. Should we not tell the world we stand as friends?
Player Accepts Declaration of Friendship: How could I turn down such a charming offer?
Player Rejects Declaration of Friendship: No, bless you.
Denounced by Player: A time will come when you pay for your misdeeds. And after that, a time when your name will live only as the villain of comical verse.
Denounces Player: Because your deeds promote only darkness and deceit, I will stand opposed to you—and stand for love and laughter!
Invitation to Capital: I delight in hearing of distant lands. If you tell me of your capital, I shall share the location of mine.
Invitation to City: I have invited the visitors from your lands to come and visit my fair court.

== Trivia ==
* In Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the leaders to whom players could be compared on the Ranking screen (if their final score was 1,100-1,199 points).
* Eleanor is the first leader in Civilization history to lead two different civilizations in the same game.
** Her appearance changes based on which civilization she leads: she wears a floral crown, braided hair and longer sleeves while leading England, and a golden crown, long flowing hair and shorter sleeves when leading France. In either case, she's often seen holding a jeweled golden chalice - while never visible in-game, this chalice's model is full of wine, in which the Firaxis logo can be seen.
** Eleanor's diplomacy screen also changes depending on which civilization she leads. It shows the land around Fontevraud Abbey when she leads England, and the land around the Palace of Poitiers when she leads France.
* Eleanor's leader ability references the Medieval European concept of noble, chivalrous love (and purported all-female tribunals that heard and ruled on cases of love), while her leader agenda is named after the holdings of the Angevin kings of England.
* Eleanor is the ancestor of several other leaders in Civilization VI, its expansions, and its DLC: Victoria, Elizabeth I, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Ludwig II, Wilhelmina, Philip II, João III, Pedro II, Jadwiga, Kristina, Catherine de Medici, Wilfrid Laurier, and Simón Bolívar. Eleanor is also the ancestor of Beatrice of Hungary, wife of Matthias Corvinus.
** She is also the ancestor of several past Civilization leaders: Eleanor Roosevelt, George Washington, Otto von Bismarck, Frederick the Great, William of Orange, Catherine II, Winston Churchill, Henry VIII, Maria Theresa, Maria I, Gustavus Adolphus, Isabella I, João II, Louis XIV, Prince Henry the Navigator, Franklin Roosevelt, Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, and Charles V.
