On William X of Aquitaine’s return from his pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostella, he would reveal that he had already remarry to Almodis of Barcelona, such marriage would produce another son named William of Santiago de Compostella on 1138 who was conceived after their wedding, and another daughter named Agnes of Aquitaine in 1142 who would be later be the wife of Simon I of France.
On 1138 on his return with his own new wife and son, he would marry his daughter, Eleanor of Aquitaine to Louis VII of France after the birth of his son to create an alliance between France and its huge vassal of Aquitaine, the marriage was easy to arrange as Louis VI wanted the marriage alliance when he was alive in 1137 when William left in Santiago de Compostella, the birth of a son to William X of Aquitaine would mean that Aquitaine would remain a major autonomous vassal of the French crown.
William X of Aquitaine would marry his daughter, Alix of Aquitaine to Raoul of Vermandois in 1142 after seeing her in the summons of Louis VII to William X, the issue about the marriage is that the marriage was bigamous and this would cause drama between the French Crown and the Count of Champagne which would cause the devastation of the County of Champagne by Louis VII.
