No in a sense that nobody cared about the "Salic Law" until a particular event, and Eleanor / Catherine didn't have royal blood so that is why they were just "consort" and not "reigning" (even if they held more power than many king before or after them).
Well, Eleanor had Royal Blood, just not Bourbon/Valois Royal Blood (although she probably even had that somewhere down her pretty, heraldry-decorated family lineage chart), and Catherine's family was richer and more affluent (and more in with the Papacy) than many Royal Families, and were tantamount to Royalty. The concept of Royals only marrying, "peers of their station," until relatively recently (even, the late Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was first cousin to Constantine II, last King of the Hellenes, and nephew of the current Queen of Denmark's father) meant that it was EXTREMELY rare, almost unheard of, that a Royal Consort didn't have Royal Blood. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's desire to marry Sophie, the scion of a minor Slovak noble house, led to several years of bitter wrangling with his uncle, Emperor and King Franz Joseph of the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary, who finally relented, but declared their marriage would be a morganatic one, and stripped him of access to the royal opera balcony, public functions, and other privileges while together (he had to attend as though a bachelor, albeit an ineligible one) - and that included the bullet proof Imperial touring carriage, which which is why they were in an open automobile that tragic day in Sarajevo in June, 1914...
Also, the real trigger point of the French Revolutionary War was not the shock of the Revolution or the threat to the rule of more traditional Monarchs (though that certainly helped, as did fearmongering by emigres nobles), but the response to a message delivered by a swift courier from Vienna upon the announcement of the trial of Louis XVI, written by Joseph, Holy Roman Emperor, Archduke of Austria, and a whole passel of other titles, who said that all of the lands under his hegemony, or in his vassalage to him, or who could be swayed by alliance, or debt of honour or precedent, would declare war on France if any harm came to his sister, Marie Antoinette, the Queen Consort of France.
So, no, to day Royal Consorts, for the great majority of European history and instances, lacked Royal Blood would be very incorrect. In fact, given the heavy inter-marriage as is, they very often already had some Royal Blood somewhere down the line of the family they were marrying into.
