King Louis VII of France became involved in a war with Theobald by permitting Count Raoul I of Vermandois and seneschal of France, to repudiate his wife Eléonore of Blois, Theobald's sister, and to marry Petronilla of Aquitaine, sister of the queen of France.

Eleonor's marriage with Raoul I of Vermandois was dissolved at the request of Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose sister Petronilla of Aquitaine was in love with Raoul. This led to a war with Theobald II of Champagne, who was Eleonor's brother. The war lasted two years and ended with the occupation of Champagne by the royal army. Eleonor died in 1147.
Eleanor married Rudolph of Vermandois, Raoul I, Ralph I Count of Vermandois [29069] [MRIN: 5908], son of Hugh the Great of Vermandois de Crépi Count of Vermandois [5375] and Adelaide of Vermandois [5376], in 1125. (Rudolph of Vermandois, Raoul I, Ralph I Count of Vermandois [29069] was born in 1085 and died on 14 Oct 1152.)
