Eleanor of Aquitaine was a wealthy and powerful noblewoman in France. When she married Henry II of England, she brought her vast lands in France (such as Aquitaine) into the English sphere of influence. This union effectively joined her French lands with those of England, strengthening England's territorial and political position. The feudal system was already present in England before this marriage. Also, there is no historical evidence that she forced England to give up lands in France or that she wanted the King of France to rule England.
