Son's rebellion C. Henry II of heirs Henry II was the first of eight Plantagenet kings. He ignored his island nation and did not drag it to the mainland problem. With Alfred, Edward I, Elizabeth I, Henry II is one of the best monarchs in the UK. Henry II was born in Le Mans, France in 1133. Anju's Jeffrey Planternet and Matilda, the daughter of Henry I, are his parents.

Queen Joanna of England is the daughter of England's King Henry II and Aquitaine Queen Elinoa. She married William II King of Sicily and married happily, but there was no heir. After William's death, there was political turmoil in Sicily, Joanna was basically housed in a palace without heritage. Her brother, Lion Heart Richard of England, came to her with the help and asked her to be partner in Berengaria of his new wife Navara during Crusades. After returning to France, Joanna married to Raymond VI of Toulouse, which turned out to be an unpleasant and rough marriage, but soon passed away.

Two years after the wedding, Henry became King Henry II of England, Eleanor became his Queen. From the southern Pyrenees mountains to the northern Chevrolet, their empire is indeed huge. The descendants of their Plantagenet will now dominate the British and parts of the European Continent for 330 years, this is a satisfying ambition for the royal family, family restraint, and territorial transcendence. In nearly 40 years of intense marriage, Eleanor and Henry bore seven children who survived until adulthood. Four of them were sons. The oldest son known as the young King Henry died of dysentery at the age of 28 and led the army against his father. Another disloyal son, Duke of Brittany, Jeffrey, also died of a strange death in Paris at the age of 28. Eleanor's favorite sons, Lionheart Richard and Henry's favorite John Lackland, all inherit the British crown.
