eleanor of england -lrb- 18 june 1269 -- 29 august 1298 -rrb- was an english princess , the eldest surviving daughter of king edward i of england and his first wife , queen eleanor of castile .
what evidence exists for her early years suggests that while her parents were absent on crusade between 1270 and 1274 , she became very close to her paternal grandmother , eleanor of provence , with whom she continued to spend a good deal of time .
she was also close to her sickly brother henry .
on one pentecost eve , henry and eleanor were given two partridges for their dinner , for a special treat .
for a long period eleanor was betrothed to king alfonso iii of aragon .
alfonso 's parents were under papal interdict , however , because of their claims to the throne of sicily , which were contrary to the papal donation of the sicilian throne to charles i of naples , and despite the aragonese ruler 's repeated pleas that edward i send his daughter to them for marriage , edward refused to send her as long as the interdict remained in place .
in 1282 he declined one such request by saying that his wife and mother felt the girl , who had just turned 13 , was too young to be married , and that they wanted to wait another two years before sending her to aragon .
alfonso died before the marriage could take place .
eleanor subsequently married the french nobleman , henry iii , count of bar on september 20 , 1293 , and had two children : edward i , count of bar joan according to kenneth panton , eleanor is credited with a daughter called eleanor -lrb- b. 1285 -rrb- , who supposedly married a welshman named llywelyn ap owain .
she was buried in westminster abbey .
