Eleanor of Castile died on 28 November 1290 at [[Harby, Nottinghamshire]].<ref>Cockerill 2014, pp. 342–343.</ref> Edward and Eleanor loved each other and much like his father, Edward was very devoted to his wife and remained faithful to her throughout their married lives. He was deeply affected by her death and displayed his grief by erecting twelve so-called Eleanor crosses, one at each place where her funeral [[cortège]] stopped for the night.<ref>{{harvnb|Morris|2009|pages=230–231}}</ref>

Following her death the body of Queen Eleanor was carried to [[Lincoln, Lincolnshire|Lincoln]], about {{convert|7|mi|km}} away, where she was embalmed – probably either at the [[Gilbertine]] [[St Katherine's Priory, Lincoln|priory of St Katherine]] in the south of the city, or at the priory of the Dominicans.<ref>Powrie 1990, pp. 32–34.</ref> Her [[Organ (anatomy)|viscera]], with the exception of her heart, were buried in the Angel Choir of [[Lincoln Cathedral]] on 3 December.<ref name="cock344">Cockerill 2014, p. 344.</ref> Eleanor's other remains were carried to London, a journey of about {{convert|180|mi|km}}, that lasted 12 days.
