Was Louis VII's first wife Eleanor of Aquitaine older or younger than him?

  • Older

  • Younger

  • The same age

  • It is not known

Answer

Eleanor of Aquitaine was likely younger than Louis VII, as there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. While her exact date of birth is uncertain, most historians believe she was born sometime between 1122 and 1124. Louis VII, on the other hand, was born in 1120. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Eleanor was Louis' junior by a few years.
