King of England, Crowned in 1154
aka Henry Curtmantel
"Henry II succeeded by hereditary right, as the heir of his grandfather. He had already conquered Normandy; he inherited his father's country of Anjou; by a spectacular marriage with Eleanor of Aquitaine, he added control of that extensive duchy. His fron tiers stretched from Berwick to the Pyrenees, but of course, for all his lands south of the Channel he was vassal of the King of France. His father's ancesto rs had been counts of Anjou, and may originally have come from Brittany; the na me Plantagenet, which has become attached to the dynasty, derives from the trad itional use of broom as a badge. Henry II was a strong, as well as mobile, kin g with a powerful interest in all forms of law and government; his judges toure d the land and by the end of his reign there was what could be called a "common law". None the less his rule was often exercised by force and favour; there w ere occasional risings against him and at the end of his life he had troubles w ith his sons."
