'Before Alfonso came of age his reign was troubled by internal strifeand the intervention of the kingdom of Navarre in Castilian affairs.Throughout his reign he maintained a close alliance with the kingdomof Aragon, and in 1179 he concluded the Pact of Cazorla, which settledthe future line of demarcation between Castile and Aragon when thereconquest of Moorish Spain was completed. From 1172 to 1212 he wasengaged in resistance to the Moorish Almohad invaders, who defeatedhim in 1195. In the same year the kings of Leon and Navarre invadedCastile, but Alfonso defeated them with the aid of King Peter II ofAragon. In 1212 Alfonso secured a great victory at Las Navas de Tolosaover the Almohad sultan and thereby broke Almohad power in Spain.'1 |

Richard 'The Lionheart' Plantagenet1
M, b. 8 September 1157, d. 6 April 1199
| Burial* | | Fontevrault Abbey, Fontevrault, Maine-Et-Loire, France1 |
| Note* | | 'Richard I, the Lion-hearted, spent much of his youth in his mother'scourt at Poitiers. Richard cared much more for the continentalpossessions of his mother than for England - he also cared much morefor his mother than for his father. Family considerations influencedmuch of his life: he fought along side of his brothers Prince Henryand Geoffrey in their rebellion of 1173-4; he fought for his fatheragainst his brothers when they supported an 1183 revolt in Aquitane;and he joined Philip II of France against his father in 1188,defeating Henry in 1189. 'Richard spent but six months of his ten-year reign in England. Heacted upon a promise to his father to join the Third Crusade anddeparted for the Holy Land in 1190 (accompanied by his partner-rivalPhilip II of France). In 1191, he conquered Cyprus en route toJerusalem and performed admirably against Saladin, nearly taking theholy city twice. Philip II, in the meantime, returned to France andschemed with Richard's brother John. The Crusade failed in itsprimary objective of liberating the Holy Land from Moslem Turks, butdid have a positive result - easier access to the region for Christianpilgrims through a truce with Saladin. Richard received word of John'streachery and decided to return home; he was captured by Leopold V ofAustria and imprisoned by Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. Theadministrative machinery of Henry II insured the continuance of royalauthority, as Richard was unable to return to his realm until 1194.Upon his return, he crushed a coup attempt by John and regained landslost to Philip II during the German captivity. Richard's war withPhilip continued sporadically until the French were finally defeatednear Gisors in 1198. 'Richard died April 6, 1199, from a wound received in a skirmish atthe castle of Chalus in the Limousin. Near his death, Richard finallyreconciled his position with his late father, as evidenced by SirRichard Baker in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: 'The remorse forhis undutifulness towards his father, was living in him till he died;for at his death he remembered it with bewailing, and desired to beburied as near him as might be, perhaps as thinking they should meetthe sooner, that he might ask him forgiveness in another world.'Richard's prowess and courage in battle earned him the nickname CoeurDe Lion ('heart of the lion'), but the training of his mother's courtis revealed in a verse Richard composed during his german captivity: 'No one will tell me the cause of my sorrow Whythey have made me a prisoner here. Wherefore with dolour I now makemy moan; Friends had I many but help have I none. Shameful it is thatthey leave me to ransom, To languish here two winters long.' Reigned 1189-1199. Prisoner in Germany 1192-1194. A hero of Medievallegends spent all but 6 months of his reign abroad. He became Duke ofAquitaine in 1168 and of Poitiers in 1172. He joined the 3rd crusadein 1189 and conquered Messina and Cyprus before arriving in the HolyLand. His victory at Arsuf gained Joppa (1191). On his way home he wasaptured in Austria and was only released by Emporer Henry VI afterpayment of an enourmous ransom (1194). He returned briefly to Englandbut died in France. Most sources agree that he died without issue, but there are some thatclaim he had this one child. I have no proof of either. It is alwaysa possiblity that he left descendants, but in this case as he wasroyalty and well documented it is doubtful. However I added it to myancestry because it is a possibility. Please use with caution.2 |

| Confirmation* | 3 September 1189 | Acceded to Crown, Richard Lionheart is king of England after Henry's Death London, 3 September 1189 Richard Lionheart, crowned king of England today, knows little of thecountry he has inherited. He has spent most of his life in France, asduke of Aquitaine ruling the land of his mother, Eleanor, and fightinghis father, Henry 11, and his brothers. The old king's dying words tohis pugnacious, disloyal son were: 'God grant that I may not die till I have had a fitting revenge onyou.' Richard, aged 32, grew up in an atmosphere of intrigue. Henry hadacquired vast territories in France by his marriage, and his sons werenever satisfied with their shares. When Richard's elder brother Henrydied and he became heir, his father wanted him to leave Aquitaine andcome to England. Richard scornfully refused and another family war,the last in fact, ensued. Richard's first act as king was to release his mother, who had beenconfined at Winchester for supporting him against her husband. He hasbeen busy raising money for an expedition to Palestine. He can hardlywait to be off crusading once more. The nick name 'Lionheart' wasgiven to him in France, as coeur de lion, for his military prowess.1 |

Walter De Lacy1
M, b. 1160, d. between 24 February 1240 and 1241
| Occupation* | | Sheriff Of Herefordshire1 |
| Note* | | Walter de Lacie, elder son, paid in the 10th of Richard I, 1199, 2000marks for the king's favour and to have livery of his lands, but this being the last yearof that monarch's reign, his brother and successor, King John, exactedno less than 1000 pounds for similar favour of livery. In the 9th ofthe latter king's reign, Walter de Lacie obtained a confirmation ofhis lands and dominion of Meath in Ireland, to be held by him and hisheirs for the service of 50 knights' fees; as also his fees inFingall, in the valley of Dublin, to be held by the service of sevenknights' fees. But in three years afterwards, King John passing intoIreland with his army, Lacie was forced to deliver himself up and allhis possessions on that kingdom, and to abjure the realm. He wassubsequently banished from England, but in the 16th of the same reign,he seems to have made his peace, for he was allowed to repossess hisCastle of Ludlow; and the next year he recovered all of his lands,except the castle and lands of Drogheda, by paying a fine of 4000marks to the crown. After this we find him Sheriff of Herefordshire, in the 18th of King John, and 2nd of Henry III, and inthe 14th of the latter king, joined with Geoffrey de Marisco, thenJustice of Ireland, and Richard de Burgh, in subduing the King ofConnaught, who had taken up arms to expel the English from histerritories. So much for the secular acts of this baron. Of his worksof Piety, it is recorded that he confirmed to the canons of Lathonyall those lands and churches in Ireland, granted to them by hisfather, Hugh de Lacie; and of his own bounty, gave them the church ofOur Lady of Drogheda, with other valuable gifts. To the monks atCreswil, in Hereford, he was a special benefactor, having conferred onthem 200 acres of land and wood called Ham; also 600 acres, with thewoods thereto belonging, and common pasture for their cattle in NewForest, and in divers pasturages. Moreover, the ninth sheaf of wheatand other corn, except oats, throughout all his lordships in Englandand Wales. Likewise the tithe of all the hides of those cattle whichwere yearly sold at the larder of his Castle at Ewyas. In Ireland hefounded the Abbey of Beaubee, in Normandy, which was a first cell tothe great Abbey of Bec in Normandy, and afterwards at Furness, in Lancaster. He marriedMargaret, daughter of William de Braose, of Brecknock, and in 1241,being then infirm and blind, departed this life, leaving his greatinheritance to be divided among females, viz., the daughters of hissons.

| Note* | | After having lost his child-wife, Isabelle of Flanders, he went on crusade, then hurried back to marry again for the sake of his dynasty as his son, Louis, was a sickly child. What he needed was the daughter of a king and, on 14 August 1193, he married Ingeborg (Isambour), daughter of King Valdemar of Denmark. Arrangements had been made for her to be crowned queen the day after the nuptials but, during the wedding night, Philippe's feelings changed to repulsion. In Compiègne, before an assembly, fifteen duly sworn witnesses, twelve of them from the king's family, solemnly calculated the degrees of consanguinity and showed that Philippe and Ingeborg were fourth cousins, a prohibiting degree for marriage. However, this solution was not accepted by Ingeborg's brother, the Danish king, who appealed to Pope Celestine III, claiming the genealogies to be wrong, but the pope gave Philippe no more than a warning. In June 1196, Philippe III married the beautiful Agnès de Meran. With Ingeborg still alive, this was bigamy. The new pope, Innocent III, ordered Philippe to part from Agnès and, laying France under an interdict, wanted to suspend all religious services. Negotiations were to last fifteen years and, because of the Cathar upsurge, the interdict was not applied. In 1201 in Soissons, the church confronted Philippe but, after a fortnight's arguing, he departed, taking Ingeborg with him. On 29 July 1201 Agnès de Meran died and Philippe could no longer be regarded as a bigamist; and so, in November of that year, the pope legitimised the two children of Philippe and Agnès. In 1205 a 'damsel from Arras' bore him a bastard son and, as Philippe would have nothing to do with Ingeborg, she was spared the perils of childbearing. As it had not been consummated, the pope was willing to declare the marriage with Ingeborg void. However, they had not counted on Ingeborg who maintained that she and Philippe had slept together. To satisfy pope, king and queen, the only solution seemed to be that the queen should take the veil and enter a convent; but then, in April 1213, Philippe announced he was taking back his wife. |

John 'Lackland' Plantagenet1
M, b. 24 December 1166, d. 19 October 1216
| Burial* | | Cathedral, Worcester, Worcestershire, England1 |
| Note* | | John was born on Christmas Eve 1167. His parents drifted apart afterhis birth; his youth was divided between his eldest brother Henry'shouse, where he learned the art of knighthood, and the house of hisfather's justiciar, Ranulf Glanvil, where he learned the business ofgovernment. As the fourth child, inherited lands were not available tohim, giving rise to his nickname, Lackland. His first marriage lastedbut ten years and was fruitless, but his second wife, Isabella ofAngouleme, bore him two sons and three daughters. He also had anillegitimate daughter, Joan, who married Llywelyn the Great, Ruler ofAll Wales, from which the Tudor line of monarchs was descended. Thesurvival of the English government during John's reign is a testamentto the reforms of his father, as John taxed the system socially,economically, and judicially. The Angevin family feuds profoundly marked John. He and Richardclashed in 1184 following Richard's refusal to honor his father'swishes surrender Aquitane to John. The following year Henry II sentJohn to rule Ireland, but John alienated both the native Irish and thetransplanted Anglo-Normans who emigrated to carve out new lordshipsfor themselves; the experiment was a total failure and John returnedhome within six months. After Richard gained the throne in 1189, hegave John vast estates in an unsuccessful attempt to appease hisyounger brother. John failed to overthrow Richard's administratorsduring the German captivity and conspired with Philip II in anotherfailed coup attempt. Upon Richard's release from captivity in 1194,John was forced to sue for pardon and he spent the next five years inhis brother's shadow. John's reign was troubled in many respects. A quarrel with the Churchresulted in England being placed under an interdict in 1207, with Johnactually excommunicated two years later. The dispute centered onJohn's stubborn refusal to install the papal candidate, StephenLangdon, as Archbishop of Canterbury; the issue was not resolved untilJohn surrendered to the wishes of Pope Innocent III and paid tributefor England as the Pope's vassal. John proved extremely unpopular with his subjects. In addition to theIrish debacle, he inflamed his French vassals by orchestrating themurder of his popular nephew, Arthur of Brittany. By spring 1205, helost the last of his French possessions and returned to England. Thefinal ten years of his reign were occupied with failed attempts toregain these territories. After levying a number of new taxes upon thebarons to pay for his dismal campaigns, the discontented baronsrevolted, capturing London in May 1215. At Runnymeade in the followingJune, John succumbed to pressure from the barons, the Church, and theEnglish people at-large, and signed the Magna Carta. The document, adeclaration of feudal rights, stressed three points. First, the Churchwas free to make ecclesiastic appointments. Second, larger-than-normalamounts of money could only be collected with the consent of theking's feudal tenants. Third, no freeman was to be punished exceptwithin the context of common law. Magna Carta, although a testament toJohn's complete failure as monarch, was the forerunner of modernconstitutions. John only signed the document as a means of buying timeand his hesitance to implement its principles compelled the nobilityto seek French assistance. The barons offered the throne to PhilipII's son, Louis. John died in the midst of invasion from the French inthe South and rebellion from his barons in the North. John was remembered in elegant fashion by Sir Richard Baker in AChronicle of the Kings of England: '. . .his works of piety were verymany . . . as for his actions, he neither came to the crown byjustice, nor held it with any honour, nor left it peace.' MAGNA CARTA The Great Charter of English liberty granted (under considerableduress) by King John at Runnymede on June 15, 1215 John, by the graceof God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy andAquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots,earls, barons, justices, foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, andto all his officials and loyal subjects, greeting.

In a warwith the French king Philip II, he lost Normandy and almost all hisother possessions in France. In England, after a revolt of the barons,he was forced to seal the Magna Carta (1215). From the Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled 'John:' 'John's reputation, bad at his death, was further depressed by writersof the next generation. Of all centuries prior to the present, onlythe 16th, mindful of his quarrel with Rome, recognized some of hisquality. He was suspicious, vengeful, and treacherous; Arthur I ofBrittany was probably murdered in captivity, and Matilda de Braose,the wife of a recalcitrant Marcher baron, was starved to death withher son in a royal prison. But John was cultured and literate.Conventional in his religion rather than devout, he was rememberedfor his benefactions to the church of Coventry, to Reading Abbey, andto Worcester, where he was buried and where his effigy still survives.He was extraordinarily active, with a great love of hunting and areadiness to travel that gave him a knowledge of England matched byfew other monarchs. He took a personal interest in judicial andfinancial administration, and his reign saw important advances at theExchequer, in the administration of justice, in the importance of theprivy seal and the royal household, in methods of taxation andmilitary organization, and in the grant of chartered privileges totowns. If his character was unreliable, his political judgment wasacute. In 1215 many barons, including some of the most distinguished,fought on his side.' 'Lackland' refered to John's status as the youngest son, resulting inno significant inherited fiefs from his Father. His titles includedKing of Ireland 1177, Count of Mortain 1189, Earl of Gloucester. Johnsucceeded his brother Richard I as King in 1199. In 1215 he put hisseal on the Magna Carta (Great Charter). The Magna Carta is thefoundation of English Constitutional law and liberties and placed theKing, like the subjects he ruled, subject to the rule of law. He isInterred in Worcester Cathedral.
