Queen Eleanor of Provence, 24th great grandmother

Edward I's father was Henry III, King of England #24.

Henry III (1 October 1207 – 16 November 1272), also known as Henry of Winchester, was King of England, Lord of Ireland, and Duke of Aquitaine from 1216 until his death.^[1] The son of King John and Isabella of Angoulême, Henry assumed the throne when he was only nine in the middle of the First Barons' War.   (Wikepedia)

Edward's mother was Eleanor of Provence #24.

Eleanor of Provence #24 (c. 1223 – 24/25 June 1291) was Queen consort of England, as the spouse of King Henry III of England, from 1236 until his death in 1272. She served as regent of England during the absence of her spouse in 1253.

Although she was completely devoted to her husband, and staunchly defended him against the rebel Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, she was very much hated by the Londoners. This was because she had brought a large number of relatives with her to England in her retinue; these were known as "the Savoyards", and they were given influential positions in the government and realm. On one occasion, Eleanor's barge was attacked by angry citizens who pelted her with stones, mud, pieces of paving, rotten eggs and vegetables.

Eleanor was the mother of five children, including the future King Edward I of England. She also was renowned for her cleverness, skill at writing poetry, and as a leader of fashion.

Born in Aix-en-Provence, she was the second daughter of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence  #25 (1198–1245) and Beatrice of Savoy #25 (1198–1267), the daughter of Thomas I of Savoy #26 and his wife Margaret of Geneva #26. She was well educated as a child, and developed a strong love of reading. Her three sisters also married kings.^[3] After her elder sister Margaret married Louis IX of France, their uncle William corresponded with Henry III of England to persuade him to marry Eleanor.  

Eleanor was married to King Henry III of England #24 on 14 January 1236.^[6] She had never seen him prior to the wedding at Canterbury Cathedral and had never set foot in his kingdom.^[7] Edmund Rich, Archbishop of Canterbury, officiated.

In 1272 Henry died, and her son Edward, who was 33 years old, became Edward I, King of England. She remained in England as queen dowager, and raised several of her grandchildren—Edward's son Henry and daughter Eleanor, and Beatrice's son John.

In 1275 Eleanor's two remaining daughters died Margaret 26 February and Beatrice 24 March.

She retired to a convent; however, she remained in contact with her son, King Edward, and her sister, Queen Margaret of France.

Eleanor died on 24/25 June 1291 in Amesbury, eight miles north of Salisbury, England. She was buried in the Abbey of St Mary and St Melor, Amesbury. The exact site of her grave at the abbey is unknown making her the only English queen without a marked grave. Her heart was taken to London where it was buried at the Franciscan priory.^[16]
