Joanna(Joan) of England Queen of Sicily

Hello everyone thank you for joining me today, apologies for the late video it has been one of those days. In today's video I'm talking about Joanna or Joan the youngest daughter to king Henry II. Joanna's quiet courage in the 12th century is something to be admired, she was witness to historic events that shaped the future. at the age of 12 Joanna would become queen of Sicily, Joanna overcome many challenges in her short life. She was remembered by her son Raymond VII of Toulouse who named his daughter Joan after his mother who he sadly never got the time to know.
Thank you so much for watching and I hope you've enjoyed the video. Liz xx

Thanks for doing this series! Poitiers: PWAH-tee-ay. Like Sidney. Fontevraud: the d is silent. Apulia: ah-POOL-ia. Komnenos: com-NEN-us. Acre: good enough, I guess. I was going to say something about the "re" at the end just being a suggestion, lol. "Ock(r)"? But that's confusing. Good stuff! I'm really enjoying this.

I really enjoyed this video. Just today I was wondering about the relationship between the norman kings of Sicily and those of England and how Tancred was able to keep off Henry the VI of the Holy Roman Empire so thanks for adding some pieces to my puzzle.
