Died in the year 1204 (she was born in 1122).
The chronicle of Saint Saint Aubin of Angers says she died in her own capital; others say she was taken to Fontevrault, the nunnery cited as the convent above.
(Merlin was believed to have prophesized that this nunnery was to be the "necropolis of the Angevins").
The tombs were disturbed and defaced during the French Revolution. Subsequently they were rearranged with Eleanor between her husband, Henry Fitz-Empress (Henry II) King of England and Richard Coeur-de-Lion, their son, a later King of England. (Later succeeded by John of Magna Carta fame.
