What is one way eleanor of aquitaine built her power as a monarch?

Eleanor of Aquitaine constructed its power like monarch becoming queen consorte of France (1137-1152), being wife of Louis VII, and after England (1154-1189), being wife of Henry II, besides being matriarch of the dynasty Plantageneta, who ruled England between 1154 and 1485.

Explanation:

Eleonor of Aquitaine was one of the richest and most powerful women of the Middle Ages, having been Duchess of Aquitaine and Countess of Poitiers in her own right. She was still queen consort of France, as wife of Louis VII, and later of England, like wife of Henry II, besides being matriarch of the dynasty Plantageneta, that governed England between 1154 and 1485. She was the eldest daughter of Guilherme X of Aquitaine, whom he succeeded in 1137, and of Aenor de Châtellerault.

When she became a Duchess of Aquitaine at the age of fourteen, Eleonor became the most coveted bride in Europe, having married three months after her marriage to King Louis VII of France, with whom she had two daughters. As Queen of France, Eleonor participated in the Second Crusade, traveling to Palestine leading the army of Aquitaine and Poitou against the forces of Islam. After fifteen years as Queen of France, she requested the annulment of her marriage to Pope Eugene III, annulment granted on March 21, 1152, based on the consanguinity of the couple (they were cousins in 4th degree). His two daughters were declared legitimate and his custody was granted to Louis, while the lands of Leonor were returned to him.  Soon after the annulment, Leonor married Henry, Duke of Normandy and Count of Anjou on May 18, 1152 in the Cathedral of Poitiers. Two years later, at Christmas of 1154, she and her husband, now Henry II, were crowned King and Queen of England at Westminster Abbey in London.

During the first thirteen years of marriage, Henry and Eleanor had eight children. However, in 1171 they disagreed over his extramarital affairs, which eventually imprisoned her in 1173 because she had supported the revolt of her sons Henry, Richard and Godfred against him. Eleonor was only released on July 6, 1189, when her husband died and her second son Richard the Lionheart ascended the throne of England.

As queen mother, Eleonor acted as regent of England and Normandy when Ricardo left for the Third Crusade, having negotiated the ransom of this one when it was arrested in Austria.

Upon the accession of his son John in 1199, Eleonor participated in his last battles to secure his stay on the throne. And after an intense life of eighty-two years, being consecutively queen of France and England, took the veil in the Abbey of Fontevraud, where it died like nun on 1 of April of 1204.
