According to Brian Tompsett, UK genealogist: "Despite taking a vow of
perpetual chastity on widowhood she married Simon de Montford!"
According to LDudick@@ancestrees.com
(http://www.ancestrees.com/charlema/d0/i0002247.htm):
"Accprdomg tp a foctopma;ozed accpimt. "Falls the Shadow", Eleanor was
betrothed to William Marshall at a very young age for political and
monetary reasons. As most all royal marriages occured in this way, it
was perfectly normal. Her marriage to William ended when she was only 15
at her husbands death. She was then convinced by a very close caretaker
to take the oath of fidelity from the Pope. This gave her many of the
vows of a nun. She never fit well into this as she was a very beautiful
blond haired woman who enjoyed the company of men. Though she
religiously upheld her vows, she fell hopelessly in love with Simon de
Monfert after reaching the age of adulthood. They married secretly with
the forced assistance of her brother, King Henry. Simon then convinced
the Pope with monetary gifts to rescind his wife's vow of Abstinence.
This was to say a very scandalous set of circumstances. Simon de
Montfert was well below Eleanor's social status to add to boot. This is
a love conquers all theme in the novel "Falls the Shadow"."
