The Angevin Empire in Western Europe (1154–1214)

Описание: Today you will learn about the Angevin Empire (the possessions of the Angevin kings of England who held lands in England and France during the 12th and 13th centuries), and its rulers which were only 3: Henry II (1154–1189), Richard the Lionheart (1189–1199), and John Lackland (1199–1216).

Also, you will understand how a royal house having its origin in the county of Anjou in the west of France, came to rule over an area covering roughly half of France, all of England, and parts of Ireland and Wales. I covered he origins of Plantegenet dinasty from Geoffrey, Count of Anjou and Duke of Normandy. The influence and power of the House of Anjou brought them into conflict with the kings of France of the House of Capet, to whom they also owed feudal homage to their French possessions, bringing in a period of rivalry between both dynasties.
