There is no proof of her celebrated beauty

There are several reports of Eleanor's beauty, but we have no means of knowing how she appeared today. Despite the fact that several people said she was attractive, none of these testimonies include any details about her appearance, thus nobody is even aware of the most basic things like her hair or eye color.

She was described as "gracious, charming, and the very essence of charm" by the poet Bernard de Ventadour, and by the poet Matthew Paris as having "admirable beauty."Another noteworthy Eleanor of Aquitaine information is that she is not represented in any paintings, which is highly remarkable given the prevalence of royal portraits throughout history.
