3398. Henry 2 d'Anjou England,King (Paget, "NA," Paget, All.).<br />
Born in 1133, son of Matilda, who was the heir of King Henry I of England, he was known at first as Henry FitzEmpress. However, when Henry I died,<br />
their cousin Stephen de Blois took the crown. During the ensuing civil war, Henry's father took Normandy and Henry was invested as its Duke. In 1151<br />
Henry's father died and he then inherited the counties of Anjou and Maine.<br />
In 1152 he met and was seduced by Eleanor de Poitou, Duchess of Aquitaine, who was not only eleven years older but also had just divorced the<br />
French king. They married at Bordeaux on 18 May 1152, this marriage also adding to his French territories as well as eight children. However, with<br />
Eleanor being so much older, Henry did not remain faithful to his queen.<br />
Having been declared heir to Stephen de Blois, Henry, on Stephen's death in 1154, became Henry II, King of England. His first years as king were<br />
spent restoring law and order in which he was assisted by his chancellor, Thomas à Becket. In 1157 Henry II invaded North Wales and in 1159 they<br />
campaigned in France on Eleanor's behalf. However, this campaign was unsuccessful; yet even so a peace treaty was signed with Louis VII, Eleanor's<br />
previous husband.<br />
Henry II had raised his chancellor, Thomas à Becket, to become Archbishop of Canterbury; but a quarrel begun in 1163 was to last for several years.<br />
Indeed, in 1164 Thomas à Becket was forced to leave the country and it was not until 1170, when the pope forced Henry II to acquiesce, that he<br />
returned.<br />
Henry II's remark 'will no one rid me of this turbulent priest' led to Thomas à Becket's murder on 29 December 1170. Henry II's reputation suffered, even<br />
though his sorrow over the loss of a friend was genuine.<br />
Also in 1170 he had his eldest son, Henry, crowned to secure a peaceful succession, but the 'young king' died in 1183. In 1189 while he was at Tours,<br />
he was told of the betrayal of his youngest and favourite son, John. On 4 July 1189, he met the French king Philippe at Colombières. They spoke while<br />
on horseback and a sudden thunder-clap caused Henry's horse to rear and throw him. Henry II then made his peace with King Philippe and was taken<br />
by litter to the castle of Chinon. Two days then spent wrangling with monks from Canterbury, demanding concessions for their order, were to be his last.<br />
When he realised his end was near, he was taken to the altar of the castle church where he deliriously cursed the day he was born and asked heaven's<br />
vengeance upon his sons. He then suffered a haemorrhage and died, to be buried in the Abbey of Fontevrault (van de Pas .). , b. on 4 Mar 1133<br />

3399. Eleonore d' Aquitaine (Anselme.) (Paget, "NA," Paget, All.) (Anselme.) (Ibid.).<br />
The eldest daughter and heir of the Dukes of Aquitaine, she was born about 1122. She was brought up by her grandfather, the renowned troubadour<br />
Guillaume IX/X. In 1137 she inherited the Duchy of Aquitaine and married the French king, Louis VII. Two daughters were born from this marriage.<br />
Eleanor accompanied her husband on crusade and was rumoured to have had an affair with Saladin and others. On their return to France, Louis VII<br />
had their marriage annulled on 18 March 1152 on grounds of consanguinity.<br />
Eleanor, then about 30 years old, wasted no time in seducing the ni<strong>net</strong>een-year-old Henry, Duke of Normandy, marrying him on 18 May 1152 in<br />
Bordeaux. Over a period of fifteen years, five sons and three daughters were born. Eleanor and Henry then grew apart and, when their children had<br />
grown up, she supported first one son and then another against Henry. In 1189 Henry died and Eleanor lived long enough to outlive her son, Richard<br />
the Lionheart, and see her favourite son, John, become king before she herself died in 1204 at about eighty-two years of age, to be buried at<br />
Fontevrault (van de Pas .). , b. in 1123 Chateau deBelin, Fr. . The marriage of she and Louis 7 leJeune deCapet France,King was annulled in 1151<br />
