Actually, Eleanor was married to Louis VI.  Philippe II Augustus was
Louis' son by his second wife.  (Eleanor, having famously divorced Louis
after the Crusade, then married Henry Plantagenet, comte d'Anjou and
great-grandson of William of Normandy, later Henry II of England, by
whom she became the mother of another famous Crusader: Richard I, the
Lionheart).
