'''Eleanor of England''' (later '''Leonora'''; [[13 October]] [[1162]] &ndash; [[31 October]] [[1214]]) was Queen of Castile as wife of [[Alfonso VIII of Castile]].


==History==
She was born in the castle at [[Domfront]], [[Normandy]], and was baptised by [[Henry of Marcy]]. She was the sixth child and second daughter of King [[Henry II of England]] and his wife Queen [[Eleanor of Aquitaine]]. Her godfather was the chronicler [[Robert of Torigny]], who had a special interest in her and recorded her life as best he could. She received her first name as a namesake of her mother, whose name "Eleanor" (or Alienor) had previously been unrecorded though may have been related to the Greek [[Helen]] or the Italian [[Elena]]. Another view holds that in the [[Occitan language]], Eleanor simply meant "the other Aenor," since Eleanor of Aquitaine was named for her mother, called [[Aenor de Châtellerault|Aenor]].
The Sasquatch! Music Festival was founded in 2002 by Pacific Northwest-based concert promoter Adam Zacks. Prior to the inception of the festival, Zacks booked and managed shows at the Roseland Theater in [[Portland, Oregon]]. After moving to [[Seattle, Washington]] to be closer to friends and family, Zacks began considering the creation of a music festival in the Pacific Northwest. In an interview with [[Seattle Weekly]] in September 2007, Zacks described the birth of Sasquatch!:<ref>{{cite web | author= Aja Pecknold |url=http://www.seattleweekly.com/2007-09-26/music/adam-zacks-mother-of-sasquatch.php |title=Adam Zacks: Mother of Sasquatch! |accessdate=2008-03-08 |publisher=[[Seattle Weekly]] }}</ref>


<blockquote>
Eleanor was a younger maternal half-sister of [[Marie de Champagne]] and [[Alix of France]]. She was a younger sister of [[William, Count of Poitiers]], [[Henry the Young King]], [[Matilda of England]], [[Richard I of England]] and [[Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany]]. She was also an older sister of [[Joan of England, Queen of Sicily|Joan of Sicily]] and [[John of England]].
Sasquatch was an idea born on a hunch that there was untapped demand for a certain kind of festival that catered to the eclectic tastes of music enthusiasts. It started in 2002, which was shortly after a number of the touring festivals (Lollapalooza, Lilith, Horde) had petered out and the beginning of the wave of regional festivals that started with Coachella and now is a dominant force on the music landscape, with Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, etc.
</blockquote>


==2008==
When she was eighteen years old, in September 1180, she was married to [[Alfonso VIII]]. The marriage was arranged to secure the Pyrennean border, with [[Gascony]] offered as her dowry.
The lineup for the 2008 Sasquatch! Music Festival was announced on 25 February 2008. Headliners for the event include [[R.E.M.]], [[The Cure]], and [[The Flaming Lips]]. The event took place on Memorial Day weekend, 24-26 May 2008. Tickets went on sale on March 8, 2008 at 12 PM [[Pacific Standard Time|P.S.T.]]


===Lineup===
Of all Eleanor of Aquitaine's daughters, her namesake Eleanor (who was called Leonor by her Spanish subjects) best inherited her mother's political influence. She reigned alongside her husband, who specified in his will that she was to rule alongside their son in the event of his death. It was she who persuaded him to marry their daughter [[Berenguela of Castile|Berenguela]] to the king of Leon in the interest of peace.


====Saturday, May 24====
When Alfonso died, his queen was reportedly so devastated with grief that she was unable to preside over the burial. Their daughter Berenguela instead performed these honors. Leonora then took sick and died only twenty-eight days after her husband, and was buried at [[Las Huelgas]] abbey in Burgos.

Sasquatch! Music Festival is a music festival held annually at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. It is presented by the House of Blues. There is an emphasis on indie rock bands and singer-songwriters, although there are also alternative rock and hip hop acts. The festival features three separate stages (Sasquatch!

Headliners from past festivals include Beastie Boys, Beck, Björk, Coldplay, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Nine Inch Nails, Pixies, The Postal Service, and String Cheese Incident.

History

The Sasquatch! Music Festival was founded in 2002 by Pacific Northwest-based concert promoter Adam Zacks. Prior to the inception of the festival, Zacks booked and managed shows at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon. After moving to Seattle, Washington to be closer to friends and family, Zacks began considering the creation of a music festival in the Pacific Northwest. In an interview with Seattle Weekly in September 2007, Zacks described the birth of Sasquatch!:[1]

Sasquatch was an idea born on a hunch that there was untapped demand for a certain kind of festival that catered to the eclectic tastes of music enthusiasts. It started in 2002, which was shortly after a number of the touring festivals (Lollapalooza, Lilith, Horde) had petered out and the beginning of the wave of regional festivals that started with Coachella and now is a dominant force on the music landscape, with Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, etc.

2008

The lineup for the 2008 Sasquatch! Music Festival was announced on 25 February 2008. Headliners for the event include R.E.M., The Cure, and The Flaming Lips. The event took place on Memorial Day weekend, 24-26 May 2008. Tickets went on sale on March 8, 2008 at 12 PM P.S.T.
