Matilda "of Flanders" first married Gherbod FLEMING1.
Matilda "of Flanders" second married King William "the Conqueror"1, son of Duke Robert "of Normandy" I (-1035) & Herleva "of Falasia". Born in 1027. William "the Conqueror" died in Town of Mantes on 9 Sep 1087, he was 60. Occupation: King of Normandy.
2William was the illegitimate son of the Duke of Normandy, spent his first six years with his mother in Falaise. In 1035 when his father died, he received the duchy of Normandy. In 1047, with the aid of King Henry I of France, William crushed the rebelling barons. He spent the next several years strengthening himself on the continent through marriage, diplomacy, war and savage intimidation. Normandy was virtually independent from Henry I of France by 1066, which gave William an opportunity for invasion.
According to William, Edward the Confessor promised the throne to him in 1051. It is possible that Edward was trying to gain support from the Norman's by making this hollow promise while fighting with his father-in-law, Godwin. Edwin reconciled with Godwin before his death and Godwin's son Harold was crowned King. The members of the council agreed to the crowning of Harold because they wanted to keep the monarchy in Anglo-Saxon hands. William, ofcourse, was angered and prepared to invade, claiming that Harold had sworn the kingship to him in 1064. Harold Godwinson was prepared for William's arrival on England's south shores, but Harald Hardrada, the King of Norway, invaded England from the north. Harold was forced to march north to defeat the Norse at Stamford Bridge on September 25, 1066. Two days after the battle, William landed without opposition at Pevensey and for the next two weeks he pillaged the area and strengthened his position on the beachhead. After defeating Harald Hardrada, Harold attempted to solidify his kingship by taking the fight south to William and the Normans on October 14, 1066 at Hastings. After hours of holding firm against the Normans, the English forces were finally succumbed to the onslaught. Harold and his brothers died fighting in the Hastings battle, and William became King on Christmas Day 1066. William punished those who resisted his kingship by confiscating their lands and allocating them to the Normans. Any uprisings in the northern counties near York were quelled by the Norman's destruction of food supplies and farming equipment.
He died as he had lived: an inveterate warrior. He died September 9, 1087 from complications of a wound he received in a siege on the town
of Mantes.
They had the following children:
23 i. Henry "Beauclere" (1070-1135)
24 ii. Gundred (-1085)
25 iii. William "Rufus" (~1057-1087)
26 iv. Adela
23rd Generation
Family of Queen Matilda "of Flanders" (22) & King William "the Conqueror"
23. King Henry "Beauclere" I.1 Born in 1070 in Selby, Yorkshire, England. Henry "Beauclere" died in St. Denis, Normandy on 1 Dec 1135, he was 65. Occupation: King of England 1100-1135.
2The reign of Henry I lasted the longest of all the Norman Kings, thirty-five years. He was nicknamed "Beauclerc", meaning fine scholar, for his above average education. During his reign, reforms in the royal treasury system became the foundation upon which later kings built. In November 1120, Henry's only surviving son, William, died in the wreck of the White Ship.
The first years of Henry's reign were concerned with subduing Normandy. William the Conqueror divided his kingdoms between Henry's older brothers, leaving England to William Rufus and Normandy to Robert. Henry inherited £5000 in silver, but no land so he played each brother off of the other during their quarrels. Niether of his brothers trusted Henry so they signed a mutual accession treaty barring Henry from the crown. Henry's only hope arose when his brother, Robert, left for the Holy Land on his First Crusade. If William were to die then Henry was the obvious heir. Henry became suspicious when on the morning of August 2, 1100 he was in the woods hunting when William Rufus was killed by an arrow. He quickly secured the crown on August 5. A few weeks later Robert returned to Normandy but escaped final defeat until the Battle of Tinchebrai in 1106. Robert was captured and lived the remaining twenty-eight years of his life as Henry's prisoner.
The final years of his reign were spent in war with France and he had difficulties ensuring the succession. On three separate occasions, the French King Louis VI began consolidating his kingdom and unsuccessfully attacked Normandy. His daughter Matilda was left as the only surviving legitimate heir. In 1125, after her husband Emporor Henry V of Germany died, she was recalled to Henry's court. Henry pre-arranged a marriage between Matilda and sixteen year old Geoffrey of Anjou which cemented an Angevin alliance on the contenent. He then forced his barons to swear an oath of allegiance to Matilda. Geoffrey demanded he be given certain key Norman castles from Henry. When Henry refused, the pair entered into war. Henry's life ended in December 1135 at war with his son-in-law and rebellion on the horizon.
Henry "Beauclere" first married Queen Matilda "of Scotland"1, daughter of King Malcolm CAENMORE III (-1093) & Queen Saint Margaret (-1093).
Princess Matilda was also known as Maude and Eadgyth.
They had one child:
27 i. Matilda "Maude" (1101-1167)
Henry "Beauclere" second married Adelizia1, daughter of Duke GODFREY.
24. Gundred.1 Gundred died on 27 May 1085.
Died in childbirth
Gundred married William DE WARENNE1.
They had one child:
28 i. William (-1138)
25. Duke William "Rufus" II.2 Born abt 1057 in Normandy, France. William "Rufus" died in Westminster Abbey, London, England on 26 Sep 1087, he was 30. Buried in Winchester Cathedral, London, England.
William II acquired the nickname Rufus either because of his red hair or his high temper. William never married and had no children.
In 1089, William turned his sights to Normandy. He bribed Norman barons for support and subsequently eroded his brother's power base. In 1096, Robert, tired of governing and quarreling with his brothers, pawned Normandy to William Rufus for 10,000 marks to finance his departure to the Holy Land on the first Crusade. Robert regained possession of the duchy after William Rufus' death in 1100.
William abused all the powers of the crown to secure wealth. He manipulated feudal law to the benefit of the royal treasury. The shire courts levied heavy fines. Confiscation and forfeitures were rigidly enforced, and extremely high inheritance taxes were imposed. His fiscal policies included the church.
William was killed when he was struck in the eye by an arrow while hunting. It is debatable if the arrow was a stray shot or murder.
26. Adela.2
Adela married Count Stephen "of Blois"2.
They had one child:
29 i. Stephen (~1096-1154)
24th Generation
Family of King Henry "Beauclere" I (23) & Queen Matilda "of Scotland"
27. Empress Matilda "Maude".1 Born in 1101 in Royal Palace in Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire. Matilda "Maude" died in Rouen on 10 Sep 1167, she was 66. Buried in Fontevrault Abbey. Occupation: Empress & Queen 1141.
2Matilda was the only surviving legitimate child of King Henry I.
When Matilda was only eight years old her father, for political reasons, betrothed to the German Emperor, Henry V. She was twelve and he was Henry V was thirty-two when they married. There were no children in this marriage. Matilda was recalled to her father's court when Henry V died in 1125.
Since Matilda's only legitimate brother had been killed in the Wreck of the White Ship in late 1120 Matilda her father's only hope for the continuation of his dynasty. The barons swore allegiance to Matilda and promised to make her queen after her father's death. In April 1127, Matilda was obliged to marry Prince Geoffrey of Anjou and Maine (the future Geoffrey V, Count of those Regions). Geoffrey was only thirteen, she was twenty-three by this time. They had three sons within the first four years of marriage.
Matilda was away when her father died on 1st December 1135. Her cousin Stephen quickly got the support of the barons and was crowned king. With the assistance of her husband Geoffrey and half-brother Robert of Gloucester, she attempted to take Normandy. Matilda soon invaded her rightful English domain.
After three years of armed struggle, in 1141, she finally gained the upper hand at the Battle of Lincoln. King Stephen was captured and she won over Stephen's half-brother, Henry of Blois, the Bishop of Winchester. She was declared Queen but failed to secure her coronation. The Londoners joined a renewed push from Stephen's Queen and laid siege to the Empress in Winchester. She escaped to the West, but while commanding her rearguard, her brother was captured by the enemy.
On November 1, 1141 Matilda swapped Stephen for Robert. Stephen remained King until his death in 1154 then Matilda's son Henry II took the throne.
On 3 Apr 1127 when Matilda "Maude" was 26, she married Geoffrey PLANTAGENET1, son of King Fulk V. Occupation: Count of Anjou and Maine.
They had the following children:
30 i. Henry "Fitz Empress", "Curtmantel" (1133-1189)
31 ii. Hameline
25th Generation
Family of Empress Matilda "Maude" (27) & Geoffrey PLANTAGENET
30. King Henry "Fitz Empress", "Curtmantel" PLANTAGENET II.1 Born on 5 Mar 1133 in Le Mans. Henry "Fitz Empress", "Curtmantel" died in Chinon, France on 6 Jul 1189, he was 56. Occupation: King of England 1154-1189.
2Henry II was the first of the Angevin kings and was one of the most effective of all England's monarchs. During his reign the Norman government was refined and became a capable, self-standing bureaucracy. He successfully ruled one of the Middle Ages most powerful kingdoms.
Henry, having been raised in the French province of Anjou, first visited England in 1142. He came to defend his mother's claim to the throne that Stephen had stolen. When his father died in September 1151 he acquired Normandy and Anjou. Henry was crowned in October 1154 in accordance with the Treaty of Wallingford. This treaty was an agreement signed by Stephen and Matilda in 1153 stating that Henry would become King upon Stephen's death. Henry and his sons ruled the continental empire which included the French counties of Brittany, Maine, Poitou, Touraine, Gascony, Anjou, Aquitane, and Normandy. Although most of the English holdings in France were lost by King John (Henry's son), English kings claimed the French throne until the fifteenth century. The territory in the British Isles was extended in two ways. First, Henry retrieved Cumbria and Northumbria form Malcom IV of Scotland and settled the Anglo-Scot border in the North. Next, he invaded Ireland and secured an English presence on the island.
Both the English and Norman barons in Stephen's reign undermined royal authority by manipulating feudal law. Many reforms were instituted to weaken traditional feudal ties and strengthen King Henry's position. Incompetent sheriffs were replaced and the authority of royal courts was expanded. A new social class of government clerks were empowered that stabilized procedure. Common law replaced the customs of feudal and county courts. Old Germanic trials by ordeal or battle were replaced by Jury trials.
Criminals began to seek refuge in the church courts instituted by William the Conqueror. One in fifty of the English population qualified as clerics which were only demoted to laymen in the church courts. Henry wished to transfer sentencing in such cases to the royal courts. A close friend of Henry's named Thomas Beckett, chancellor since 1155, was named Archbishop of Canterbury in June 1162. Beckett soon distanced himself from Henry because he opposed the weakening of the church courts. Beckett fled England in 1164, but through the intervention of Pope Adrian IV (the lone English pope), returned in 1170. Henry was greatly angered by the Archbishop's defiance and publicly conveyed his desire to be rid of Beckett. Four knights murdered Beckett in his own cathedral on December 29, 1170.
Henry's sons were angered over their father's plans of dividing his myriad lands and titles and over the poor treatment of their mother. At their mother's encouragement they rebelled against their father several times, often with Louis VII of France as their accomplice. With the assitance of Philip II Augustus of France, Richard attacked and defeated Henry on July 4, 1189. Henry II died two days later, on July 6, 1189, after being forced to accept a humiliating peace.
Below are a few quotes, about King Henry Plantegenet II, from famous men of their own right.
From Sir Winston Churchill Kt, 1675: "Henry II Plantagenet, the very first of that name and race, and the very greatest King that England ever knew, but withal the most unfortunate . . . his death being imputed to those only to whom himself had given life, his ungracious sons. . ."
From Sir Richard Baker, A Chronicle of the Kings of England: Concerning endowments of mind, he was of a spirit in the highest degree generous . . . His custom was to be always in action; for which cause, if he had no real wars, he would have feigned . . . To his children he was both indulgent and hard; for out of indulgence he caused his son henry to be crowned King in his own time; and out of hardness he caused his younger sons to rebel against him . . . He married Eleanor, daughter of William Duke of Guienne, late wife of Lewis the Seventh of France. Some say King Lewis carried her into the Holy Land, where she carried herself not very holily, but led a licentious life; and, which is the worst kind of licentiousness, in carnal familiarity with a Turk."
In 1151 when Henry "Fitz Empress", "Curtmantel" was 17, he married Queen Eleanor "of Aquitaine and Poitou"1, daughter of Duke William X & Eleanor "of Toulouse". Occupation: Queen.

2John was raised between his eldest brother Henry's house and the house of Ranulf Glanvil, his father's justiciar. He received his nickname "Lackland" because inherited lands were not available to him, being the fourth child born. He and his first wife Isabella never had children. John taxed the system socially, economically, and judicially.
In 1184 Richard refused to honor his father's wishes surrender Aquitane to John. The next year Henry II sent John to rule Ireland, but John returned just six months later due to a failed experiment where he alienated both the native Irish and the transplanted Anglo-Normans who emigrated to carve out new lordships for themselves. In 1189, when Richard gained the throne, he attempted to appease his brother John by giving him vast estates. When Richard was in German captivity John made two failed attemps to overthrow Richard's administrators. In one of those attempts he conspired with Philip II. When Richard was released from captivity in 1194, John was forced to sue for pardon.
John's reign began in 1199 and was troubled in many respects. John refused to install the papal candidate, Stephen Langdon, as Archbishop of Canterbury. As a result, England was placed under an interdict in 1207 and John was excommunicated two years later. The issue was resolved when John surrendered to the wishes of Pope Innocent III and paid tribute for England as the Pope's vassal.
He also inflamed his French vassals by planning the murder of his nephew, Arthur of Brittany. He lost all of his French possessions by spring 1205 and returned to England. He spent the final ten years of his reign with failed attempts to regain these territories. He levied a number of new taxes upon the barons to pay for his campaigns and the discontented barons revolted, capturing London in May 1215. John was pressured from the barons, the Church, and the English people into signing the Magna Charta. John signed the Magna Charta but was hesitant to implement its principles which compelled the nobility to seek French assistance. The barons then offered the throne to Philip II's son, Louis. John died while in the midst of invasion from the French in the South and rebellion from his barons in the North.
Sir Richard Baker wrote about John in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: ". . .his works of piety were very many . . . as for his actions, he neither came to the crown by justice, nor held it with any honour, nor left it peace."
On 24 Aug 1200 when John "Lackland" was 33, he married Queen Isabella "of Angouleme" DE TAILLEFER1, daughter of Count Aymer DE TAILLEFER & Alice DE COURTENAY, in Bordeaux Cathedral. Occupation: Queen.
They had one child:
38 i. Henry (1207-1272)
34. King Richard "the Lionhearted" PLANTAGENET I.2 Born on 8 Sep 1157 in Beaumont Palace, Oxford. Richard "the Lionhearted" died in Chalus, Aquitaine on 6 Apr 1199, he was 41. Buried in Fontevrault Abbey, Anjou. Occupation: King of England 1189-1199.
Richard I spent most of his childhood in his mother's court at Poitiers. He was much closer to his mother than he was his father. He fought by the side of his brothers Prince Henry and Geoffrey in their rebellion of 1173-1174 and he fought for his father against his brothers when they supported an 1183 revolt in Aquitane. He then joined Philip II of France against his father in 1188, defeating Henry in 1189.
Richard only spent six months of his ten-year reign in England due to a promise to his father to join the Third Crusade. He departed for the Holy Land in 1190 along with his partner-rival Philip II of France. In 1191, he conquered Cyprus on his way to Jerusalem and performed admirably against Saladin, nearly taking the holy city twice. Meanwhile, Philip II, returned to France and schemed with Richard's brother John. Though the Crusade failed in liberating the Holy Land from Moslem Turks, it did create easier access to the region for Christian pilgrims through a truce with Saladin. When Richard got word of John's treachery he decided to return home. He was captured by Leopold V of Austria and imprisoned by Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. Richard was unable to return to his realm until 1194. Upon his return, he crushed a coup attempt by John and regained lands lost to Philip II during the German captivity. Richard's war with Philip continued until the French were finally defeated in 1198 near Gisors.
Richard died when he was wounded in a skirmish at the castle of Chalus in the Limousin. Sir Richard Baker in wrote a Chronicle of the Kings of England: "The remorse for his undutifulness towards his father, was living in him till he died; for at his death he remembered it with bewailing, and desired to be buried as near him as might be, perhaps as thinking they should meet the sooner, that he might ask him forgiveness in another world." Richard composed a verse during his german captivity:
"No one will tell me the cause of my sorrow Why they have made me a prisoner here. Wherefore with dolour I now make my moan; Friends had I many but help have I none. Shameful it is that they leave me to ransom, To languish here two winters long."
On 12 May 1191 when Richard "the Lionhearted" was 33, he married Queen Berengia2, daughter of King Sancho VI, in Limassol, Cyprus. Occupation: Queen.

38. King Henry III.1 Born on 1 Oct 1207 in Winchester Castle. Henry died in Palace of Westminster on 16 Nov 1272, he was 65. Buried in Westminster Abbey, Middlesex. Occupation: King of England 1216-1272.
2Henry III inherited the throne at age nine. There was much rebellion created by his father, King John before Henry took the throne. London and most of the southeast were in the hands of the French Dauphin Louis and the northern regions were under the control of rebellious barons. The midlands and southwest were all that was loyal to the boy king. The barons rallied under Henry's first regent, William the Marshall, and expelled the French Dauphin in 1217. William the Marshall governed until his death in 1219. Hugh de Burgh governed until Henry came to the throne at the age of twenty-five.
Henry angered the barons by granting favors and appointments to foreigners rather than the English nobility. Peter des Roches, the Bishop of Winchester, introduced a number of Frenchmen from Poitou into the government. Many Italians entered into English society through Henry's close ties to the papacy. The Church became a massive European monarchy and the Church became excessive in extorting money from England. England was expected to finance the myriad officials employed throughout Christendom as well as provide employment and parishes for Italians living abroad. These demands of Rome initiated a backlash of protest from his subjects. Laymen were not allowed the opportunity to be nominated for vacant ecclesiastical offices and clergymen were not able to advance.
In 1258 Henry levied extortionate taxes to pay for debts incurred by the war with Wales, failed campaigns in France, and extensive ecclesiastical building. Henry had to sell his hereitary claims to all Angevin possessions in France with the exception of Gascony due to failed diplomacy and military defeat. Henry was in a very vulnerable position and the barons took advantage of the situation. The barons demanded sweeping reforms and Henry was forced to agree to the Provisions of Oxford. This document placed the barons in virtual control of the realm. A council of both supporters and detractors effected a situation in which Henry could do nothing without the council's knowledge and consent. In 1264, civil war errupted when Henry reasserted his authority and denied the Provisions. Henry's oldest son, Edward, led the king's forces against Simon de Montfort, Henry's brother-in-law. de Montfort defeated Edward at the Battle of Lewes, in Sussex and captured both Henry and Edward.
The nobility supported Simon de Montfort because of his royal ties and belief in the Provisions of Oxford. De Montfort recognized the need to gain the backing of smaller landowners and prosperous towns people. He summoned knights from each shire and high churchmen and nobility to an early pre-Parliament in 1264. Then in 1265 he invited burgesses from selected towns. Both of these elements were a precurser to both the elements of Parliament, being the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
One of de Montfort's most powerful barons, Earl of Gloucester turned on de Montfort in 1265. Also, Edward managed to escape. The Earl of Gloucester and Edward gathered an army and defeated de Montfort at the Battle of Evasham, Worcestershire. De Montfort was killed and Henry was released. Though Henry resumed control of the throne, Edward exercised the real power of the throne.
On 14 Jan 1236 when Henry was 28, he married Queen Eleanor "of Provence"1, daughter of Count Raymond "of Provence" BERENGER, in Canterbury Cathedral, Kent. Occupation: Queen.
Eleanor was descended from Clovis.
They had the following children:
41 i. Philip
42 ii. Edmund "Crouchback"
43 iii. Edward "Longshanks" (1239-1307)

43. King Edward "Longshanks" PLANTAGENET I.2 Born on 7 Jun 1239 in Palace of Westminster. Edward "Longshanks" died in Burgh-on-Sands, Cumberland on 7 Jul 1307, he was 68. Buried in Westminster Abbey, Middlesex. Occupation: King of England 1272-1307.
2Edward I, nicknamed "Longshanks" due to his great height and stature, was perhaps the most successful of the medieval monarchs. The first twenty years of his reign marked a high point of cooperation between crown and community. In these years, Edward made great strides in reforming government, consolidating territory, and defining foreign policy. He possessed the strength his father lacked and reasserted royal prerogative. Edward fathered many children as well: sixteen by Eleanor of Castille before her death in 1290, and three more by Margaret.
Edward held to the concept of community, and although at times unscrupulously aggressive, ruled with the general welfare of his subjects in mind. He perceived the crown as judge of the proper course of action for the realm and its chief legislator; royal authority was granted by law and should be fully utilized for the public good, but that same law also granted protection to the king's subjects. A king should rule with the advice and consent of those whose rights were in question. The level of interaction between king and subject allowed Edward considerable leeway in achieving his goals.
Edward I added to the bureaucracy initiated by Henry II to increase his effectiveness as sovereign. He expanded the administration into four principal parts: the Chancery, the Exchequer, the Household, and the Council. The Chancery researched and created legal documents while the Exchequer received and issued money, scrutinized the accounts of local officials, and kept financial records. These two departments operated within the king's authority but independently from his personal rule, prompting Edward to follow the practice of earlier kings in developing the Household, a mobile court of clerks and advisers that traveled with the king. The King's Council was the most vital segment of the four. It consisted of his principal ministers, trusted judges and clerks, a select group of magnates, and also followed the king. The Council dealt with matters of great importance to the realm and acted as a court for cases of national importance.
Edward's forays into the refinement of law and justice had important consequences in decreasing feudal practice. The Statute of Gloucester (1278) curbed expansion of large private holdings and established the principle that all private franchises were delegated by, and subordinate to, the crown. Royal jurisdiction became supreme: the Exchequer developed a court to hear financial disputes, the Court of Common Pleas arose to hear property disputes, and the Court of the King's Bench addressed criminal cases in which the king had a vested interest. Other statutes prohibited vassals from giving their lands to the church, encouraged primogeniture, and established the king as the sole person who could make a man his feudal vassal. In essence, Edward set the stage for land to become an article of commerce.
Edward concentrated on an aggressive foreign policy. A major campaign to control Llywelyn ap Gruffydd of Wales began in 1277 and lasted until Llywelyn's death in 1282. Wales was divided into shires, English civil law was introduced, and the region was administered by appointed justices. In the manner of earlier monarchs, Edward constructed many new castles to ensure his conquest. In 1301, the king's eldest son was named Prince of Wales, a title still granted to all first-born male heirs to the crown. Edward found limited success in extending English influence into Ireland: he introduced a Parliament in Dublin and increased commerce in a few coastal towns, but most of the country was controlled by independent barons or Celtic tribal chieftains. He retained English holdings in France through diplomacy, but was drawn into war by the incursions of Philip IV in Gascony. He negotiated a peace with France in 1303 and retained those areas England held before the war.
Edward's involvement in Scotland had far reaching effects. The country had developed a feudal kingdom similar to England in the Lowlands the Celtic tribal culture dispersed to the Highlands. After the death of the Scottish king, Alexander III, Edward negotiated a treaty whereby Margaret, Maid of Norway and legitimate heir to the Scottish crown, would be brought to England to marry his oldest son, the future Edward II. Margaret, however, died in 1290 en route to England, leaving a disputed succession in Scotland; Edward claimed the right to intercede as feudal lord of the Scottish kings through their Anglo-Norman roots. Edward arbitrated between thirteen different claimants and chose John Baliol. Baliol did homage to Edward as his lord, but the Scots resisted Edward's demands for military service. In 1296, Edward invaded Scotland and soundly defeated the Scots under Baliol Ð Baliol was forced to abdicate and the Scottish barons did homage to Edward as their king. William Wallace incited a rebellion in 1297, defeated the English army at Stirling, and harassed England's northern counties. The next year, Edward defeated Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk but encountered continued resistance until Wallace's capture and execution in 1304. Robert Bruce, the grandson of a claimant to the throne in 1290, instigated another revolt in 1306 and would ultimately defeat the army of Edward II at Bannockburn. Edward's campaigns in Scotland were ruthless and aroused in the Scots a hatred of England that would endure for generations.
Edward's efforts to finance his wars in France and Scotland strained his relationship with the nobility by instituting both income and personal property taxes. Meetings of the King's Great Council, now referred to as Parliaments, intermittently included members of the middle class and began curtailing the royal authority. Parliament reaffirmed Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest in 1297, 1299, 1300, and 1301; it was concluded that no tax should be levied without consent of the realm as a whole (as represented by Parliament).
Edward's character found accurate evaluation by Sir Richard Baker, in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: He had in him the two wisdoms, not often found in any, single; both together, seldom or never: an ability of judgement in himself, and a readiness to hear the judgement of others. He was not easily provoked into passion, but once in passion, not easily appeased, as was seen by his dealing with the Scots; towards whom he showed at first patience, and at last severity. If he be censured for his many taxations, he may be justified by his well bestowing them; for never prince laid out his money to more honour of himself, or good of his kingdom."

They had the following children:
48 i. Joan "of Acre"
49 ii. Edward (1284-1327)

49. King Edward PLANTAGENET II.1 Born on 25 Apr 1284 in Caernarfon Castle, Gwynedd. Edward died in Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire on 21 Sep 1327, he was 43. Buried in St. Peter's Abbey (Gloucester Cathedral), Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Occupation: King of England 1307-1327.
Edward II was not as dignified as his father and failed as a king. His father, Edward I, left Edward in control of a war with Scotland he was not prepared for. He lavished his male favorites with money and other rewards which made him extremely unpopular with the barons and eventually cost Edward his life.
Edward I had dreamed of a unified British nation, but that dream quickly disintegrated under his weak son. Barons rebelled, opening the way for Robert Bruce to reconquer much of Scotland. The English forces were defeated at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. The Scottish won their independence until England and Scotland unified in 1707. A rebellion was started in Ireland, by Bruce, which reduced English influence to the confines of the Pale.
When Edward II became king he recalled Piers Gaveston, a young Gascon believed to be the kings homosexual lover. Edward I had exiled Piers Gaveston for his influence on the Prince of Wales. Once recalled by Edward I, Gaveston wielded considerable power. The magnates didn't approve of the relationship and rallied in opposition behind the king's cousin, Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. Restrictions were imposed on Edward's power and Gaveston was exiled. Later, in 1312, the barons revolted and murdered Gaveston. In order to avoid a full rebellion Edward accepted further restrictions. Lancaster would now share the responsibilities of governing with Edward. In 1322 Edward being under the influence of Hugh Dispenser gathered an army to meet Lancaster at the Battle of Boroughbridge in Yorkshire. Edward prevailed and executed Lancaster. Edward and Dispenser then ruled the government and knights and barons began to rebel. Edward had 28 knights and barons executed for their rebellion and many more were exiled.
Edward's wife, Isabella, was sent to negotiate with her brother, French king Charles IV, about the affairs in Gascony. Queen Isabella began an open affair with Roger Mortimer, one of Edward's disaffected barons. She persuaded Edward to send their young son to France then she and her lover invaded England in 1326 and imprisoned Edward. The king was deposed in 1327 and replaced by his son, Edward III. In September Edward II was murdered at Berkeley castle.
Sir Richard Baker referred to Edward I in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: "His great unfortunateness was in his greatest blessing; for of four sons which he had by his Queen Eleanor, three of them died in his own lifetime, who were worthy to have outlived him; and the fourth outlived him, who was worthy never to have been born."
Edward married Queen Isabella "of France"1, daughter of King Philip IV & Queen Jeanne. Occupation: Queen.
They had one child:
56 i. Edward (1312-1377)

56. King Edward PLANTAGENET III.1 Born on 13 Nov 1312 in Windsor Castle, Berkshire. Edward died in at Shene, near Richmond, in SurrySheen Palace, Richmond, Surrey on 21 Jun 1377, he was 64. Buried in Westminster Abbey, Middlesex. Occupation: King of England 1327-1377.
2Edward proved himself as a very capable king when Engand was in a great time of evoution. The export of raw wool and the wool cloth industry prospered and spread wealth across the nation. The prosperiety was only to be offset by the devastation wrought by the Black Death.
When Edward's father was deposed Edward was crowned king. He was only fourteen years old. Edward's mother and her lover, Roger Mortimer dominated Edward for the first three years of his reign. In revenge, Edward started a palace revolt in 1330 and assumed control of the government. Edward had his mother exiled from court and Mortimer was executed.
King Edward and Edward Baliol defeated David II of Scotland and drove David into exile in 1333. England gained control of the Channel through the naval battle of Sluys in 1340. The English established supremacy on land during the battles at Crecy in 1346 and Calais in 1347. Hostilities flared up again in 1355 and war began with an English invasion of France. Edward III's eldest son, Edward the Black Prince, captured the French King John when he battled the French cavalry at Poitiers in 1356. The Black Prince defeated the French when he encircled Paris with his army in 1859. Once defeated, the French negotiated for peace with the Treaty of Bretigny in 1360 which ceded huge areas of northern and western France to English sovereignty. The peace was short-lived as hostilities arose again when the kings third son, John of Gaunt, had his English armies invade France in 1369. The plague weakened the English military strength so much that by 1375 Edward agreed agreed to the Treaty of Bruges, which left only the coastal towns of Calais, Bordeaux, and Bayonne in English control.
English society transformed a great deal during Edward's reign. The nobility became a small body that held great lands and wealth. Taxation of exports and commerce became the primary form of financing government and war. Merchants became wealthy as they and other middle class subjects appeared regularly for parliamentary sessions. Parliament was formally divided into two houses, the upper representing the nobility and high clergy with the lower representing the middle classes In 1352 treason was defined by statute, in 1361 the office of Justice of the Peace was created to aid sheriffs and in 1362 English replaced French as the national language.
Though England was very prosperous, a great deal of problems remained. John Wycliff spearheaded an ecclesiastical reform movement that challenged church exploitation by both the king and the pope. The bubonic plague during 1348-1350 ravaged the populations of Europe by as much as a fifty per cent. The English economy was struck hard by the ensuing rise in prices and wages. Excessive taxation and an erosion of Edward's popularity were the result of the failed military excursions of John of Gaunt into France.
After Philippa died in 1369 Edward took the unscrupulous Alice Perrers as his mistress. The court became dominated by Perrers and William Latimer with the support of John of Gaunt after the kings son, Edward the Black Prince became ill. Edward, the Black Prince, died in 1376 and the king spent the last year of his life grieving.
On 24 Jan 1328 when Edward was 15, he married Queen Phillipa1, daughter of William "the Good" III, in York Minster, Yorkshire. Phillipa died in 1369.
They had the following children:
66 i. John "of Gaunt" (1340-1399)
