Royal tomb of Eleanor of Aquitaine, detail of feet, in the nave of the Abbey Church at Fontevraud Abbey, Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, Loire Valley, Maine-et-Loire, France. Eleanor of Aquitaine, 1122-1204, Queen consort of King Henry II of England, is reading a book, a symbol of her unusual stature and learning. The Plantagenet rulers were benefactors of the monastery. The effigy is carved in stone and was painted, she wears a crown and nun's wimple and her robes are blue and white. No body remains in the abbey as the tomb was raided during the French Revolution. Fontevraud Abbey was founded in 1100 by Robert of Arbrissel and became a double monastery for both monks and nuns, led by an Abbess. The Order was dissolved during the French Revolution.
