Page "Eleanor of Provence" Paragraph 4
from
Wikipedia
Eleanor was married to King Henry III of England on 14 January 1236.
She had never seen him prior to the wedding at Canterbury Cathedral and had never set foot in his kingdom.
Edmund Rich, Archbishop of Canterbury, officiated.
She was dressed in a shimmering golden gown which was tightly-fitted to the waist, and then flared out in wide pleats to her feet.
The sleeves were long and lined with ermine.
After riding to London the same day where a procession of citizens greeted the bridal pair, Eleanor was crowned queen consort of England in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey which was followed by a magnificent banquet with the entire nobility in full attendance.
