Eleanor of Champagne
Eleanor of Blois/Champagne (French: Eléonore; 1102–1147) was a French noblewoman.
Life
She was the daughter of Stephen II, Count of Blois, and Adela of Normandy, daughter of the William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders. Eleanor married Ralph I, Count of Vermandois, and became mother of Hugh II of Vermandois (1127 to 1212), Count of Vermandois and of Valois, then monk in 1160.
Eleanor’s marriage with Ralph I was dissolved at the request of Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose sister Petronilla of Aquitaine was in love with Ralph.[1] This led to a war with Theobald II of Champagne, who was Eleanor’s brother. The war lasted two years (1142–1144) and ended with the occupation of Champagne by the royal army. Eleanor died in 1147.

gollark: > Here's a fun guess (not going to test it): the bid's value is the smallest prime factor of the SHA of the bid.Wouldn't that be rather slow to compute?
