Jack, I would highly recommend you look into William Lyons Mackenzie, the guy who tried to do America, in Canada. After failing to get Canadians to peacefully rebel from 'Britsh colonial thraldom', He actuslly started a short-lived pro-American anti-British "Republic of Canada" whos flag is literally the word LIBERTY in big red letters, and two American-esc Stars. Looks pretty cool to me. The Republic of Canada only lasted two years with some boys doing a Summer-Camp on an Island before being kurbstomped by the UK. America did not really care. Oh, there was also the "Republic of Lower Canada" which lasted a bit longer, and was more French-Canadian, while the Republic Williams tried to make was more American-Canadian in ideals and culture. Oh, he also later said that Canada should be straight-up be annexed by America. I guess he was salty that his rebellion failed.

Aside from France, Austria and Scotland, Ireland may be the only place marginally better for the better-knight-than-king Richard. His father gave leave to Norman-Welsh Marcher Earls/Barons to launch the first (nominally) English invasion of Ireland. The better part of the island was conquered, when the protagonists got distracted. Barons got the land they wanted and started looking for wives, while Richard launched so many wars in the opposite direction that follow-through was hollow. Soon it would be reported that "your Majesty's subjects are more Irish than the Irish themselves," and the King's writ was null beyond the Pale.

Honestly a gritty fantasy world that's based around the 'hundred' years war in a *"not-Europe"* world is a pretty awesome idea for a rpg or tabletop game!

People seemed to forget that to Richard and a lot of English Monarchs at the time saw France as basically part of the Crown I.e the King of England was also ruler of France as they are decended from French and Norman Noblemen. There was no such thing as Nationalisim nor even Patriotisim at the time as the Concept was fairly Modern, instead Family inheritance and honor were more prevalent, which was probably why despite Richard having no love for England and was hated by his Contemporaries was Praised by later Chroniclers.

Ehhh not by the later Plantagenets: once the majority of the continental territories were lost, the royal family and the Anglo-Norman aristocracy gradually became anglicised, and came to identify more with England than France. Richard I's nephew, Richard of Cornwall, is recorded by Walter Map as being able to speak English fluently, and his other nephew, Henry III gave his sons the 100% Saxon names of Edward and Edmund. Going forward, Edward I definitely could speak English fluently too (he apparently learned it as a child), and Edward II and Edward III could also speak it-although the first language of all three would have been Norman-French, though even so, it was becoming increasingly debased, full of English loanwords and increasingly unintelligible with French as spoken on the continent. And then, by the time we get two generations forward from that to Henry IV, the royal family are speaking English as their first language.

France was simply the bigger, richer, most populous kingdom in all of Europe at that time so yeah they always wanted it you can't foul me on that. The real English nationalism actually starts with the Tudors after the 100 years war. Before that the kings learned English to appease some of their subjects but Norman French / Roman language was still seen as the language of the nobility.

Heh you can thank XIXth century France and it completely refusing to teach Breton at school destroying the language and tearing away its capital region to create an artificial region uniting the former duchy of Anjou with the region of Vendée (aka former rivals of Brittany itself). Honestly its no wonder it doesnt get much recognition, even on local scale the locals debate for where Nantes should belong in Brittany or Loire-Atlantique is fierce, so they want the governement to decide. Governement doesnt to have nearly 50% of the pop there to be unhappy with their decisions so they send the problem back to the locals to decide . Things aint gonna change anytime soon

Another fun thing that was touched upon was that Eleanor had been married to King Louis VII of France, but Louis then annulled the marriage because she was only giving him daughters. With that, she was free to marry Henry I (after a bit of Louis complaining that she couldn't), helping him end the Anarchy and giving him 4 sons, while it took Louis two more wives to finally have Philip. So that makes Henry and Philip's feud not only between rival kings, but also between men whose half-siblings were half-siblings of the other. I enjoyed Sharon Kay Penman's quintet of books of Henry and Richard, and highly recommend them for people interested about the period.

He actually divorced her probably because she had a suspicious relationship with her uncle Raymond of Poitier who was count of Eddessa in Syria

To be fair that co-monarch thing worked well for Aurelius.

Yes he was not a Good person but John was really not any better as the Crown was in massive financial debt and he lacked the military skills of Richard lossing most of France in the process, Richards solution to the Financial deficite was to win against France or at least hold it till a truce can be meet, while John increased the tax rate to the point that the Nobles Rebelled (really they can't pay off the Debt with the economy they had as it was a few times larger than Englands GDP).

@@neilbuckley1613 Really the 2 brothers are the opposite of each other in the way they lead, Richard was a War Commander born to fight and lead armies as he deligates much of the running of the Kingdom to his Lords (which was probably why later Chronichlers like him more despite unintentionally causing a financial crisis), while John was more adminstrative and perhaps had he been crowned during peace time would have faired better, he was also more controling than Richard as he was more of a Bureacrat.

Those assasins from Fate was a nice touch. Fantastic as always Jack!

Henry II was also from France. He was born in Le Mans. In fact I dont think a single English king since the Norman Conquest spoke English until Edward III.
