As queen of France, she participated in the unsuccessful Second Crusade.
Soon afterwards, Eleanor sought an annulment of her marriage, but her request was rejected by Pope Eugene III.
However, after the birth of her second daughter Alix, Louis agreed to an annulment, as 15 years of marriage had not produced a son.
The marriage was annulled on 21 March 1152 on the grounds of consanguinity within the fourth degree.

However, Henry and Eleanor eventually became estranged.
Henry imprisoned her in 1173 for supporting their son Henry's revolt against him.
She was not released until 6 July 1189, when her husband Henry died and their second son, Richard the Lionheart, ascended the throne.
