English Monarch. Queen consort of King Edward I "Longshanks". The daughter of Ferdinand III of Castile (St. Ferdinand) and Joan of Ponthieu, she was married to Edward in 1250. She was 9, Edward was 15. Although this was purely an arranged, political marriage, it developed into a strong love affair. The couple had 16 children, but only 4 reached adulthood. Eleanor accompanied Edward on crusade to the Holy Land from 1270 to 1272, during which time she is reported to have saved his life after he was wounded. They returned to England, and upon the death of King Henry III, were crowned in 1272. She died in Nottinghamshire while en route to Scotland to join Edward. So grieved was Edward at her death, he ordered a cross erected at each stop her funeral cortege made during the journey back to London. Of the 12 "Eleanor Crosses", three are still standing today.
