Eleanor of Aquitaine MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Eleanor of Aquitaine? Eleanor of Aquitaine is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 3w4 - so/sx - 873 in Enneagram, SCUEI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.

Even though it’s incorrect, if she was an ENTJ so to was her husband, King Henry II of England, was also an ENTJ 8w7 to my mind. No wonder their marriage was so tumultuous. But again, it’s wrong—no one who’s actually studied her life or the charters she released in Aquitaine would say so. She was an astute player of the political game, but she wasn’t an administrator nor political genius like her husband, Henry II.

Biography

Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122 – 1 April 1204) was queen consort of France (1137–1152) and England (1154–1189) and Duchess of Aquitaine in her own right (1137–1204). As a member of the Ramnulfids (House of Poitiers) rulers in southwestern France, she was one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in western Europe during the High Middle Ages. She was patron of literary figures such as Wace, Benoît de Sainte-Maure, and Bernart de Ventadorn. As the duchess of Aquitaine, Eleanor was the most eligible bride in Europe. Three months after becoming duchess upon the death of her father, William X, she married King Louis VII of France, son of her guardian, King Louis VI. As queen of France, she participated in the unsuccessful Second Crusade. Soon afterwards, Eleanor sought an annulment of her marriage, but her request was rejected by Pope Eugene III.
