Marie of Champagne

Parents:  Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Other:  As Countess, she established a Court of Love at Troyes, where Andreas Cappelanus was probably chaplain to the court.  Andreas intended his manual, The Art of Courtly Love, as a portrayal of the Poitiers court of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, as it was between 1170 and 1174.  Commissioned by Countess Marie, the manual is a codification of the etiquette of love.
