Dan Snow's History Hit · Eleanor of Aquitaine · 13 Apr 2026 podcast

It would be like if Sidney Sweeney asked a 16-year-old boy to marry her now, right?

And so he's like, hell yeah, let's get this done immediately, and they marry, and there isn't really anything that anyone can do about it.

Ironically, Henry and Eleanor are more closely related.

than Eleanor and Louis were.

But, you know, Eleanor wants to do this, so it's kind of fine.

There were no sons in her marriage to Louis.

And so all of those lands revert to her.

Now, Louis is fuming.

He is absolutely fuming.

But there's also nothing you can do because it's very difficult for us to kind of understand now.

But what Henry controls and what Eleanor controls is like most of us.

Obviously, the Welsh are not happy about it.

There is some ongoing tit-for-tat.

But for the most part, the English are subjugating them, at the very least.

It goes out onto the Brittany Peninsula.

You know, we've got Calais.

We certainly have Rouen.

And for all intents and purposes, they are still quite Norman, the English.

They're speaking French at home.
