Henry and Eleanor [newly married] then went on progress through her domains [Aquitaine]. The inhabitants were quickly taught that their new master was a very different man from Louis VII [Eleanor’s first husband]. At Limoges, when the monks of the abbey of Saint-Martial refused feudal dues by a legal quibble, he promptly demolished the walls that had only recently been built to protect both abbey and town.

No rebelliousness is recorded elsewhere in Aquitaine at this time.
