Alix of France

Alix of France (July/August 1150 – 1197/1198) was countess consort of Blois by marriage to Theobald. She served as regent of Blois during Theobald's absence from in 1190–1191, and during the minority of their son Louis from 1191 until 1197. She was the daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII of France.

Life
Her parents' second child and daughter, Alix was named after her aunt Petronilla of Aquitaine, known as "Alix". The birth of yet another daughter instead of a desperately needed son was the final nail in the coffin of Eleanor and Louis's marriage, which was annulled on 21 March 1152, when Alix was not 2 years old. She and Marie retained their legitimacy, and custody of the girls was awarded to the king. Eleanor married Henry, Duke of Normandy, just eight weeks later on 18 May.

Countess of Blois
In 1164, at age 14, Alix married Theobald, who had previously attempted to abduct Alix's mother to force her into a marriage with him. Her sister Marie married Theobald's brother Henry I, Count of Champagne.

Alix died in 1197/98.
