  1. Brilliant! She had an interesting life- not exactly easy tho, especially having to leave her baby daughter in Portugal, & it's kinda interesting but sad that so many of her female relatives had really tragic lives; #1 probably being her mother Juana. I didn't know Henry VII was considering a marriage between Eleanor & Henry VIII tho!

  2. Actually King Manuel of Portugal negogiated the marriage between Eleanor and his son and heir, Prince João. It is said that the portuguese king found Eleanor so beautiful that he decided to marry her and later he married his son, Prince João, to Catarina, Eleanor 's younger sister. It is also said that Prince João, future King João III, never forgave his father for what he considered a treason.

  3. Oh the political games of marriage! I wonder if she had been happy with Frederick. Maybe happier than what her life came to be. And her only daughter was haughty towards her! This made me cry. Poor Eleanor! I'm glad she had good relations with her siblings. Thank you so much for telling about her life! I enjoed the pictures too, as allways ❤️

  4. Thank you for telling her story. What a life she led. It is sad that she never got to enjoy a family life eventhough she was married twice and had one surviving child. She truly endured the roller-coaster of the politics of her time.
