  Notes	Eleanor OF CASTILE, Spanish LEONOR DE CASTILLA (b. 1246--d. Nov. 28,1290, Harby, Nottinghamshire, Eng.), queen consort of King Edward I ofEngland (ruled 1272-1307). Her devotion to Edward helped bring out hisbetter qualities; after her death, his rule became somewhat arbitrary.Eleanor was the daughter of King Ferdinand III of Castile and his wife,Joan of Ponthieu. In 1254 Eleanor was married to Lord Edward, son of England's King HenryIII. In honour of the event, her half brother, Alfonso X of Castile,transferred to Edward his claims to Gascony. When Henry III's baronialopponents seized power in England in 1264, Eleanor was sent for safety toFrance; she returned in October 1265, after Edward had crushed the rebels. Eleanor accompanied Edward on a crusade from 1270 to 1273. The story thatshe saved his life at Acre (now in Israel) by sucking poison from adagger wound is evidently apocryphal. After Edward ascended the throne,Eleanor was criticized for allegedly mistreating the tenants on herlands. Upon her death, Edward erected the famous Eleanor Crosses--severalof which still stand--at each place where her coffin rested on its way toLondon.
