The Descendants of King Malcolm III of Scotland, 1031-1093.

31. Duke Geoffrey II PLANTAGENET of Brittany [122806] (King Henry II PLANTAGENET Of England¹⁸, Matilda BEAUCLERC Empress Of Germany¹², Queen Matilda de DUNKELD of England⁷, Malcolm III of Scotland (King)¹) was born on 23 Sep 1158 in Oxford Oxfordshire England, died on 19 Aug 1186 in Paris Isle-de-France France at age 27, and was buried in Cathedral of Notre Dame Paris Isle-de-France France.

General Notes: Wikipedia says of Geoffrey,
Geoffrey II (Breton: Jafrez; Latin: Galfridus, Anglo-Norman: Geoffroy; 23 September 1158 \endash 19 August 1186) was Duke of Brittany and 3rd Earl of Richmond between 1181 and 1186, through his marriage with the heiress Constance. Geoffrey was the fourth of five sons of Henry II, King of England and Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine.

Geoffrey married Duchess Constance PENTHIÈVRE of Brittany [122810]. Constance was born about 1161 and died about 5 Sep 1201 in Nantes Loire-Atlantique Pays de la Loire France aged about 40.

42 i. Eleanor PLANTAGENET [122811] was born between 1182 and 1184 and died on 10 Aug 1241 in Corfe Castle Dorset England.

General Notes: Wikipedia says,
Eleanor Fair Maid of Brittany[a] (c. 1184 \endash 10 August 1241), also known as Damsel of Brittany, Pearl of Brittany, or Beauty of Brittany, was the eldest daughter of Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany, the fourth son of King Henry II of England, and Constance, Duchess of Brittany. After the presumed death in 1203 of her imprisoned younger brother, Arthur, she was heiress to vast lands including England, Anjou, and Aquitaine as well as Brittany, realms where the Salic Law barring the accession of females did not apply. Her uncle John, King of England was the fifth son of Henry II, and Eleanor inherited Arthur's claim to the throne as child of John's elder brother Geoffrey. Thus she posed a potential threat to John, and following his death in 1216, equally to her cousin, Henry III of England; thus, having been put in prison in 1202, she was never released. As a prisoner she was also unable to press her claim to the Duchy of Brittany as her mother's heiress.

Like Empress Matilda and Elizabeth of York, her claim to the English throne gained little support from the barons, due to the expectation that the monarch should be male, despite legal provision for a female monarch. Some historians have commented that her imprisonment was "the most unjustifiable act of King John"

Eleanor married King Louis VIII CAPET of France [81986] in 1195. Marriage status: proposed and failed. Louis was born on 5 Sep 1187 in Paris Isle-de-France France and died on 8 Nov 1226 in Chateau de Montpensier Puy-de-Dôme Auvergne France at age 39.

Marriage Notes: Wikipedia says,
In summer 1195, a marriage between Louis and Eleanor of Brittany, niece of Richard I of England, was suggested for an alliance between Philip II and Richard, but it failed. It is said that the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI opposed the marriage, and that its failure was a sign that Richard would name his brother John as heir to the English throne instead of Eleanor's younger brother Arthur of Brittany, whom Richard had designated earlier as heir presumptive. This led to a sudden deterioration in relations between Richard and Philip

General Notes: Wikipedia says of this Louis,
Louis VIII (5 September 1187 \endash 8 November 1226), nicknamed The Lion (French: Le Lion),[1] was King of France from 1223 to 1226. From 1216 to 1217, he invaded and claimed the Kingdom of England. Louis participated in the Albigensian Crusade in southern France, driving it to its successful and deadly conclusion. He was the only surviving son of King Philip II of France by his first wife, Isabelle of Hainaut, from whom he inherited the County of Artois.

While Louis VIII only briefly reigned as king of France, he was an active leader prior to accession; having notably helped his father Philip crush an invasion attempt by a coalition of European states through his deeds at the siege of Roche-au-Moine in 1214. During the First Barons' War against King John of England, following a request from some of the rebellious English barons, the prince sailed to England with an army on 14 June 1216 despite discouragement from his father Philip and Pope Innocent III. He captured Winchester and soon controlled over half of the English kingdom.[2] He was proclaimed "King of England" by the rebellious barons in London on 2 June 1216 but was actually never crowned king. He was excommunicated by the Pope,[3] renounced his claim and was eventually repelled by the English following King John's death. Louis then successfully launched in 1217 the conquest of Guyenne, leaving the kings of England with the region of Gascony as their only remaining continental possession.

Louis was the first Capetian king to grant appanages to his younger sons on a large scale.[4] He died in 1226 and was succeeded by his son Louis IX

43 ii. Duke Arthur I PLANTAGENET of Brittany [122812] was born on 29 Mar 1187 in Nantes Loire-Atlantique Pays de la Loire France and died about 1203 aged about 16.

33. Queen Consort Eleanor PLANTAGENET of Castile [81991] (King Henry II PLANTAGENET Of England¹⁸, Matilda BEAUCLERC Empress Of Germany¹², Queen Matilda de DUNKELD of England⁷, Malcolm III of Scotland (King)¹) was born on 13 Oct 1161 in Domfront en Poiraie Orne Basse-Normandy France, died on 25 Oct 1214 in Burgos Castile & Leon Spain at age 53, and was buried in Abbey of Santa Maria la Real de Huelgas Burgos Castile Spain.

• Birth: at Château de Domfront, 25 Oct 1214, Domfront en Poiraie Orne Basse-Normandy France.

Eleanor married King Alfonso VIII d'IVREA of Castile & Leon [81990]. Alfonso was born on 11 Nov 1155 in Soria Spain and died on 6 Oct 1214 in Gutierre-Muñoz Avila Castile and León Spain at age 58.

General Notes: Wikipedia says of Alfonso,
Alfonso VIII (11 November 1155[2] \endash 5 October 1214), called the Noble (El Noble) or the one of Las Navas (el de las Navas), was the King of Castile from 1158 to his death and King of Toledo.[3][4] He is most remembered for his part in the Reconquista and the downfall of the Almohad Caliphate. After having suffered a great defeat with his own army at Alarcos against the Almohads in 1195,[5] he led the coalition of Christian princes and foreign crusaders who broke the power of the Almohads in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, an event which marked the arrival of a tide of Christian supremacy on the Iberian peninsula.[6]

His reign saw the domination of Castile over León and, by his alliance with Aragon, he drew those two spheres of Christian Iberia into close connection.

45 ii. Infante Sancho d'IVREA de Castille [123208] was born on 5 Apr 1181 in Burgos Castile & Leon Spain and died on 14 Jul 1181 in Burgos Castile & Leon Spain.

46 iii. Queen Consort Urraca d'IVREA of Portugal [123209] was born on 25 May 1187 in Toledo Spain and died on 2 Nov 1220 in Coimbra Portugal at age 33.

+ 47 iv. Princess Blanca d'IVREA of Castile [81987] was born on 4 Mar 1188 in Palencia Castile Spain, died on 27 Nov 1252 in Paris Isle-de-France France at age 64, and was buried in Abbaye de Maubuisson Paris Isle-de-France France.

48 v. Infanta Mafalda d'IVREA of Spain [123210] was born in 1191 and died in 1204 in Salamanca Salamanca Province Spain at age 13.

49 vi. Queen Consort Eleanor d'IVREA of Aragon [123211] was born about 1191 in Castille and León Spain and died in 1244 in Burgos Castile & Leon Spain aged about 53.

50 vii. Constanza d'IVREA [123212] was born in 1195 in Toledo Castile la Mancha Spain and died in 1243 at age 48.

51 viii. King Enrique I d'IVREA of Castile [123213] was born on 14 Apr 1204 in Valladolid Castile and León Spain and died on 6 Jun 1217 in Palencia Castile and León Spain at age 13.

General Notes: Wikipedia says of Enrique [Henry],
Henry I of Castile (14 April 1204[1] \endash 6 June 1217) was king of Castile. He was the son of Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor of England, Queen of Castile (daughter of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine).[2] He was the brother of Berenguela and Mafalda of Castile.[3]

In 1211, Henry became heir to the throne when his older brother Ferdinand suddenly died.

When his father died in 1214, Henry was just 10 years old, so the regency was assumed by Henry's older sister Berengaria of Castile,[4] wife of Alfonso IX of Leon.

In 1215, Henry married Mafalda of Portugal, daughter of Sancho I of Portugal. As he was very young, the marriage was not consummated, and it was dissolved in 1216 by Pope Innocent III on grounds of consanguinity. In the same year, Henry became betrothed to his second cousin Sancha, heiress of León.[5]

Henry died in Palencia in 1217 at the age of 13, killed by a tile coming off a roof. His sister Berengaria succeeded him, before renouncing the throne in favour of her son Ferdinand III.[6] His body was buried at Las Huelgas monastery in Burgos.

35. John PLANTAGENET King Of England [35158] (King Henry II PLANTAGENET Of England¹⁸, Matilda BEAUCLERC Empress Of Germany¹², Queen Matilda de DUNKELD of England⁷, Malcolm III of Scotland (King)¹) was born on 24 Dec 1166 in Oxford Oxfordshire England, died on 18 Oct 1216 in Newark Nottinghamshire England at age 49, and was buried in The Quire Worcester Cathedral Worcester Worcestershire England. Another name for John was John "Lackland".

General Notes: Wikipedia says of John, amongst much more,
John (24 December 1166 \endash 19 October 1216) was King of England from 1199 until his death in 1216. He lost the Duchy of Normandy and most of his other French lands to King Philip II of France, resulting in the collapse of the Angevin Empire and contributing to the subsequent growth in power of the French Capetian dynasty during the 13th century. The baronial revolt at the end of John's reign led to the sealing of Magna Carta, a document sometimes considered an early step in the evolution of the constitution of the United Kingdom.

John was the youngest of the four surviving sons of King Henry II of England and Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine. He was nicknamed John Lackland because he was not expected to inherit significant lands.[1] He became Henry's favourite child following the failed revolt of 1173\endash 74 by his brothers Henry the Young King, Richard, and Geoffrey against the King. John was appointed the Lord of Ireland in 1177 and given lands in England and on the continent. The war between Henry II and his elder sons ended with the deaths of Henry the Young King and Geoffrey. John unsuccessfully attempted a rebellion against the royal administrators of his brother, King Richard, whilst Richard was participating in the Third Crusade, but he was proclaimed king after Richard died in 1199. He came to an agreement with Philip II of France to recognise John's possession of the continental Angevin lands at the peace treaty of Le Goulet in 1200.

When war with France broke out again in 1202, John achieved early victories, but shortages of military resources and his treatment of Norman, Breton, and Anjou nobles resulted in the collapse of his empire in northern France in 1204. He spent much of the next decade attempting to regain these lands, raising huge revenues, reforming his armed forces and rebuilding continental alliances. His judicial reforms had a lasting effect on the English common law system, as well as providing an additional source of revenue. An argument with Pope Innocent III led to John's excommunication in 1209, a dispute he finally settled in 1213. John's attempt to defeat Philip in 1214 failed because of the French victory over John's allies at the battle of Bouvines.

When he returned to England, John faced a rebellion by many of his barons, who were unhappy with his fiscal policies and his treatment of many of England's most powerful nobles. Although both John and the barons agreed to the Magna Carta peace treaty in 1215, neither side complied with its conditions. Civil war broke out shortly afterwards, with the barons aided by Louis VIII of France. It soon descended into a stalemate. John died of dysentery contracted whilst on campaign in eastern England during late 1216; supporters of his son Henry III went on to achieve victory over Louis and the rebel barons the following year.

Contemporary chroniclers were mostly critical of John's performance as king, and his reign has since been the subject of significant debate and periodic revision by historians from the 16th century onwards. Historian Jim Bradbury has summarised the current historical opinion of John's positive qualities, observing that John is today usually considered a "hard-working administrator, an able man, an able general".[2] Nonetheless, modern historians agree that he also had many faults as king, including what historian Ralph Turner describes as "distasteful, even dangerous personality traits", such as pettiness, spitefulness, and cruelty.[3] These negative qualities provided extensive material for fiction writers in the Victorian era, and John remains a recurring character within Western popular culture, primarily as a villain in films and stories depicting the Robin Hood legends.

John married Isabella de Taillefer d'ANGOULEME [35163]. Isabella was born in 1188 in Angoulême Charente Poitou-Charentes France and died on 31 May 1246 in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye Maine-et-Loire Pays de la Loire France at age 58.

General Notes: Wikipedia says,
Origins
Born about 1182, he was the son and heir of Everard de Ros (died before 1184) and his wife Roese (died 1194), daughter of William Trussebut, of Warter.[1][2] Robert "Farfan" had a sister Alice, who married William II de Percy, 3rd feudal baron of Topcliffe (d. 1174/5), and left two daughters Maud and Agnes as co-heiresses.[3] The Ros family, from the village of Roos in Yorkshire, had in 1158 acquired the barony of Helmsley, also in Yorkshire, and before 1189 by gift of King Henry II the barony of Wark on Tweed in Northumberland.[4]

Career
Left fatherless, his lands were initially in the keeping of the Chief Justiciar of England, Ranulf de Glanvill.[2] In 1191, though under age, he paid a 1,000-mark fee to inherit his father's lands.[1] In that year he also married a widow who was an illegitimate daughter of King William I of Scotland.[1][2] Later he inherited from his mother one-third of the Trussebut estates, which included lands near the town of Bonneville-sur-Touques in Normandy, of which he became hereditary bailiff and castellan.[1][2]

In 1196, during fighting between King Richard I of England and King Philip II of France, Richard captured a French knight worth a significant ransom and put him in the castle of Bonneville. When the keeper of the castle let the knight escape, an angry Richard had the man hanged and imprisoned Ros, fining him 1,200 marks (though he was later let off 275 marks).[1][2]

Like many magnates, he had an uneasy relationship with King John after 1199. He witnessed the King's charters, served in his armies, went on diplomatic missions for him (one in 1199 to Ros's father-in-law in Scotland), and on one occasion was reported gambling with him in Ireland. Tension arose in 1205, when John ordered his lands to be seized but later relented.[1] It was possibly then that his younger son was taken as a hostage by the King.[1][2]

In 1206 he was given permission to mortgage his lands if during the next three years he went to Jerusalem, as a crusading knight or as an individual pilgrim.[1][2] The permission was renewed in 1207, but his record was marred by the escape that year of another prisoner under his supervision, for which he was fined 300 marks. Back in favour in 1209, he was sent again on a diplomatic mission to Scotland but does not seem to have gone to Palestine,[1] for in 1210 he was serving with John in Ireland.[2]

In 1212, on account of him entering a monastic order, John gave custody of his lands to Sir Philip Oldcoates. But he re-entered secular life the next year, when the King made him sheriff of Cumberland and appointed him to a commission investigating grievances in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. In the latter county, he worked for a reconciliation between John and William de Forz, heir to the extensive estates there of Hawise, Countess of Aumale.[1]

In October 1213 he was one of the witnesses when John surrendered England to the authority of the Pope and he was one of the twelve guarantors appointed to ensure John kept his promises.[1][2] Throughout the disturbances of 1214 and the first quarter of 1215 he remained loyal to John, being rewarded with royal manors in Cumberland and royal support for the election of his aunt as abbess of Barking Abbey. However he then joined the rebel barons as one of the 25 chosen to enforce observance of the Magna Carta agreement, being appointed by them to control Yorkshire and possibly Northumberland. For this he was excommunicated by the Pope, and John gave his lands to William de Forz.[1]

Ordered by John to give up Carlisle Castle, he did so but remained on the rebel side after the death of John in October 1216, supporting Prince Louis even after his elder son was captured by the loyalist side in May 1217. He finally submitted later that year, and regained most of his lands. Intermittent unrest in Yorkshire continued, with fighting in 1220 between his men and those of the sheriff,[1] followed in 1221 with him being summoned to help take and destroy Skipsea Castle during the rebellion of William de Forz.[1][2]

In 1225 he was one of the witnesses to the reissue of Magna Carta and by the end of 1226 had re-entered a monastic order,[1][2] possibly the Knights Templar. His Helmsley estates, where he had fortified the castle, then went to his elder son, while Wark, also fortified by him, went to the younger.[2][4] He died that year, or in 1227, and was buried in the Temple Church in London.

+ 73 iv. Sir Robert de ROS of Wark [122283] was born about 1195 in Helmsley Yorkshire England and died on 13 May 1285 in Wark on Tweed Northumberland England aged about 90.

40. Earl Henry de BOHUN of Hereford [81919] (Princess Margaret HUNTINGDON of Scotland²², Henry of Huntingdon (Prince Of Scotland & 3rd Earl)¹⁴, David I of the Scots (King)⁸, Malcolm III of Scotland (King)¹) was born in 1176 in Warwick Warwickshire England and died on 1 Jun 1220 in Palestine at age 44.

General Notes: Wikipedia says of Henry,
He was the son and heir of Humphrey III de Bohun (pre-1144-1181) of Trowbridge Castle in Wiltshire and of Caldicot Castle in south-east Wales, 5th feudal baron of Trowbridge,[1] who served King Henry II as Lord High Constable of England. His mother was Margaret of Huntingdon, widow of Conan IV, Duke of Brittany (d.1171) and a daughter of Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Northumberland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, son of King David I of Scotland by his wife Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon. Henry's half-sister was Constance, Duchess of Brittany.
His paternal grandmother was Margaret of Hereford, a daughter of Miles FitzWalter of Gloucester, 1st Earl of Hereford, Lord of Brecknock (died 1143), Sheriff of Gloucester and Constable of England. After the male line of Miles of Gloucester failed, in 1199 King John created Henry de Bohun Earl of Hereford and Constable of England. His lands lay chiefly on the Welsh Marches, and from this date the Bohuns took a foremost place among the Marcher barons.[2]
Henry de Bohun was one of the twenty-five barons elected by their peers to enforce the terms of Magna Carta in 1215. He was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope. In the civil war that followed Magna Carta, he was a supporter of King Louis VIII of France and was captured at the Battle of Lincoln in 1217
