"Eleanor's conduct was repeatedly criticised by church elders, particularly Bernard of Clairvaux and Abbot Suger, as indecorous. The king was madly in love with his beautiful and worldly bride, however, and granted her every whim, even though her behaviour baffled and vexed him. Much money went into making the austere Cité Palace in Paris more comfortable for Eleanor's sake.

(...) The marriage was annulled on 21 March 1152 on the grounds of consanguinity within the fourth degree. Their daughters were declared legitimate, custody was awarded to Louis, and Eleanor's lands were restored to her.

As soon as the annulment was granted, Eleanor became engaged to her third cousin Henry, Duke of Normandy. The couple married on Whitsun, 18 May 1152. Henry and Eleanor became king and queen of England in 1154. They had five sons and three daughters. However, Henry and Eleanor eventually became estranged. Henry imprisoned her in 1173 for supporting the revolt of their eldest son, Henry the Young King, against him. She was not released until 6 July 1189, when her husband died and their third son, Richard I, ascended the throne. As queen dowager, Eleanor acted as regent while Richard went on the Third Crusade. She lived well into the reign of her youngest son, John.'

Time for Eleanor of Aquitaine!

Eleanor was the elder surviving daughter of William X, Duke of Aquitaine, the most powerful vassal in 12th century France, a man who controlled far more land than his nominal overlord. Eleanor’s name, Aliénor, or “other Aenor,” referred her her mother, who died when Eleanor was a small child; her father likewise passed when she was twelve or thirteen, leaving her Duchess of Aquitaine in her own right. Duke William’s will made Eleanor a ward of King Louis VI, who bethrothed her to his heir, another Louis, and then promptly died himself, leaving the two teenagers as king and queen of France. Young Louis initially adored Eleanor, but the monkish king and high spirited duchess were ill-suited. Eleanor, to the horror of church authorities, accompanied her husband on the Second Crusade, but the campaign was a disaster, and their already-shaky marriage disentegrated along route, despite the Pope himself attempting to mediate. With two daughters and no prospect of a son, Louis and Eleanor managed to arrange an annulment… and Eleanor promptly married again, to Louis’s rival Henry FitzEmpress, soon Henry II of England. Initially, this marriage was, though not without turbulence, a happier one. Eleanor and Henry had eight children, including five sons, one of whom died young, and Eleanor, despite later legends, seems to have accepted his affairs with the equanimity of someone whose maternal grandmother eloped with her paternal grandfather. He trusted her enough to eventually allow her to rule her duchy in person on his behalf… trust that proved misplaced. When their sons, including her favorite, Richard, revolted against their father, it was with Eleanor’s support, and it was Eleanor who faced the consequences; Henry imprisoned her for the rest of his reign.

Richard’s accession, however, set her free - and also made her perhaps the most powerful queen mother in English history. She arranged his marriage to Berengaria of Navarre, held his continental lands together during his prolonged absences, and raised his ransom when he was kidnapped returning from the Third Crusade. His death in 1199 devastated her, and her relationship with her youngest son, King John, was more fractious. She took the vows at the nunnery of Fontrevault, and died there soon after, already a legend in her own time.

Based on this comment, my guess is that Lenore is French.  This is pure speculation but Lenore is a shortened form of Eleanor, which is the anglicized version of the French name Aliénor.  Both names are derived from the Germanic name Aenor.

Historically, though, England and France were almost constantly at each others throats during the medieval period.  She says she’s over two hundred years old, so she was born some time before 1276.  The Hundred Years War was about 60 years away by then, and hostilities between the two nations would have been running high in the lead-up beforehand.  The Guyenne War (1294-1303) was a big factor, but there had been territorial fighting going back into the 1100s.  Through his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, King Henry II of England actually ruled over more of France than the French king did.  His sons, Richard the Lionheart and John I, between them lost all of England’s French holdings and their Plantagenet and Tudor descendants never forgot it and would try for centuries to regain the lost land.  (The last English possession of Calais was reclaimed by France in 1558.)

Lenore refers to herself as a ‘child of war’ in this scene, which isn’t remarkable or uniquely tragic for the standards of the day, but it does establish that violence has been a part of her life from a young age.

This correlates with her role as the diplomat.  Unlike Godbrand or Carmilla, Lenore’s not an inherently violent person but rather maintains a firm threshold of what she’ll allow.  She’s clever.  She sees the value in compromising, or straight-up trickery, to achieve what she wants as opposed to physical conflict although she is capable of it.

Eleanor of Aquitaine was without a doubt the most colorful woman of her time, infatuated with power, always scheming to either achieve more of it or to maintain what she had. She loved the arts and thanks to her visits to the Middle East, she introduced some of its fashions to France and England. She was queen of England and France and ruled as regent several times with perhaps better success than her male counterparts. Her offspring became queens, kings, emperors and archbishops. As the nuns of Fontevrault so eloquently praised: “She enhanced the grandeur of her birth by the honesty of her life, the purity of her morals, the flower of her virtues; and in the conduct of her blameless life, she surpassed almost all the queens of the world.” [x]
