07/25/1137 AD married
Married in the Cathedral of Saint-André in Bordeaux by the archbishop of Bordeaux.
Immediately after the wedding, the couple were enthroned as duke and duchess of Aquitaine.
It was agreed that the land would remain independent of France until Eleanor's oldest son became both king of France and duke of Aquitaine. Thus, her holdings would not be merged with France until the next generation.
As a wedding present she gave Louis a rock crystal vase {fr}, currently on display at the Louvre.
Louis gave the vase to the Basilica of St Denis. This vase is the only object connected with Eleanor of Aquitaine that still survives.[
