Henry the Young King is a really interesting and tragic character. He was said to be the greatest tourneyer Europe had ever seen, and his death was marked by many as the end of the great age of tournaments. As for his death, it happened during another rebellion, and his deathbed entreaty to see his father one last time was perceived by the elder Henry as a trick. Henry the Young King died clutching a ring his father sent as a token of forgiveness, and when Henry II heard his son had died, he cried "He hath cost me so much, but O! How I wish he had lived to cost me more!"

I get teenage rebellion, but I don't understand them wanting to seize power from their fathers. Like, your father is the King, you are fantastically wealthy compared to everyone else, you have lands and power already, virtually no responsibility compared to what you will have in the future, why are you in such a hurry? When I was a teenager I wanted to rebel against my parents, but I didn't want to seize control of the home and finances and responsibility. I was glad not to have that responsibility yet.

“He was concerned that Richard *de Claire* was about to *declare* himself king.” I don’t know if that was intentional, but it’s great nonetheless

Impressed at the accuracy of the map detailing the possesions of the Counts of Flanders. Amiens was indeed theirs at that time when they were probably at their most influential.

"Richard de Clare was about to declare.." 😂

Just a side note, the Third Crusade was actually called for at the end of Henry II’s reign, after he’d surrendered to Richard and Philip. Both English and French monarchs vowed to take up the cross and head for the Holy Land, but Henry died before he could begin, leaving Richard as king. Richard was probably the most eager monarch in Europe to take the cross, as he’d been begging his father for years to allow him to do so, but Henry has always refused, but now Richard had no one to tell him no.

At 3:12 the young boy was “crowned” not “coronated” alongside his father, as the latter is not (yet* in any event) a word. * I suppose the Coronavirus could change this soon.

Out of curiosity, when you say that a certain person "effectively ruled England in Richard's name", which sense do you mean that in? Do you mean that person was, in effect, the ruler of England, or do you mean that person was an effective (i.e. able) ruler of England? Obviously, it could easily be a combination of the two, but depending on which one you had more in mind, it could put a significantly different spin on the effects of Richard's reign.

Brilliant as always

i love this series

Quick note Richard, from my understanding did not random the Scottish king. He was payed 10,000 marks (I think) to have the previous arrangement dissolved (where he had to acknowledge English king as overlord).

Henry never defeated Toulouse, though he got close. He never forced submission and his wars there were ultimately a failure.

It's remarkable that the 3rd Crusade had any success at all with how heavily the odds were stacked against Richard. Sure, he didn't take Jerusalem but that's kind of like Hannibal failing to take Rome. He still won repeatedly with a smaller army that would've been wiped out by 1 loss. I'm not remotely suggesting that the Crusades or Richard as a person should be celebrated but it is a testament to what an excellent general he was.

"No heaven for you." might be my favorite sign ever.

Henry II's family reminds me of Morbo's description of his own in an old episode of Futurama: "belligerent and numerous".

It is interesting that you hard mention Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry II's wife and the mother of Henry, the Young King, Richard I, Geoffrey and John. She is one of the most fascinating women in this period of time. She helped her sons' rebel against Henry. She outlived all of them except for John and was a pivotal person in the reigns.

As a Norman I consider the "Angevin Empire" as the most glorious moment of our history. But while Henry II was a good ruler, who managed to add Aquitaine and Britanny to his lands, Richard was a terrible king who did really little and too late to hold his possessions. If the Angevin Empire had held or even beaten the French history would be extremely different (imagine an English-French state existing for centuries)

That’s arguable but I get what you mean . What I meant was that it wasn’t connected to the Kingdom of France in the same way Charlemagne was . And the Plantagenet dynasty ORIGINATED from France but that doesn’t mean every member of it was French . It’s like saying Queen Elizabeth is German just because her family came from Hanover . So I believe while the court was mostly held in France the main piece of the empire was England because their title of highest rank came from ruling England and I don’t think it can be abbreviated to either France or England since both regions had influence over the empire . Evidence from Wikipedia “The adoption of the Angevin Empire label marked a re-evaluation of the times, considering that both English and French influence spread throughout the dominion in the half century during which the union lasted. “ Wikipedia isn’t 100% accurate but this is fair to presume considering the court was largely held in France and the kings who ruled it were of largely English birth .
