I think King John had a problem with narcissism. He also had a problem with his mother, his brothers and his father. To my mind, he was a coward, very similar to Edward II. He had not a lick of sense in him, either good or bad and a lot of people suffered for it. Notice, please, that no other King of England has since been named John. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Henry II got bored with herafter 8 kuds and started cheating on her and ignoring her, is it really any surprise that she ended up siding with her frustrated son who wanted some land of his own?

I found it sad there was no mention of Henry II’s older fraternal twin brother Hamelin. So what if he became an Earl by right of his wife Isabelle DeWarenne. Her former husband was Robert Beliol, king of Scotland. Right? Also quite sad with all the respect and homage of the DeWarennes that they never get mentioned in any history or lore. Also kinda squirming on the dates of events because resources differ. Which King John signed the Magna Charta? Henry II’s son? Seems he was called “John Lackland” and learning that his brother Richard the Lionheart took back some of John’s lands until the relationship was repaired. But the Battle of Hastings was in 1066. Was not the Norman army coming after John lackland? William DeWarenne 1st Earl of Surrey financed Bill Bastard’s conquest right? Did not the 2nd Earl of Surrey die in a joust before his son was born? If Hamelin was born in 1124(ish) Would have made King John his nephew, which Hamelin counseled John to sign the Magna Charta. William DeWarenne 3rd Earl’s seal was one of the first given to the Magna Charta. Thomas Beckett Archbishop of Canterbury, restored Hamelin’s eyesight. Were the DeWarennes involved with Becket’s assassination? Does anyone know of a good resource for the DeWarennes? Starting to think my resources suck. Actually the Crusades were for a lot longer and much earlier. They weren’t Templars then, they were Hospitallers, and still not much mention of them in any history book. I understand that Count Geoffrey D’Anjou and King Henry Ist had issue over Count Geoffrey’s first born because he had a tan and can’t possibly be a child of his daughter Matilda. Wasn’t it Matilda trying to kill Geoffrey? Why would a mother allow her first born to he passed over the throne? Because Hamelin had a tan, Henry was fair skin. This caused lots of issue between Geoff and Matilda because Geoffrey accused Matilda of infidelity, which she wasn’t. Actually the dark skin was on Geoffrey’s side - he’s got Iberian, Basque, and Egyptian genes. (Like King George VI).

Sorry, but I don't quite agree with your comparison with Germany. France had been a powerful kingdom since King Clovis and according to the feodal system, there was only One king, the king of France : all the other lords, dukes etc, how powerful they were , were his vassals and had to obey him and be loyal to him. William the Conqueror was the duke of Normandy but also the vassal of the king of France. It's a previous King of France who gave the territory of Normandy to Rollo, a Viking. The Vikings ( becoming the Normans in Normandy) married the local women and became peasants. The union of German principalities dates back to the 19 th century. Napoleon helped the process of this union !

Only to see her husband take a young, beautiful mistress, Alise, to replace her in his heart and bed. Henry owed her much. Another woman men try to keep out of history.

Richard was a genocidal tyrant during the Crusades. He cost his subjects dear in the exactions to fund his egocentric warmongering. England was mortgaged to the hilt to fund his follies. He cared not for the suffering he caused. He once gave away England to the Pope. Bearing the epithet "Lionheart" as ascribed by sycophantic clerics. Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe's good king Richard is pure fantasy. As if the Saxon's, still labouring under the Norman yoke to this very day, would ever surrender (a French word) to live in harmony with the kleptocratic Normans.

Horrible king, placing all Henry's conquests in jeopardy while Richard was away fighting a righteous cause, includ saving wife n sister. Unrest wld continue on and on, until a great parliament was formed. AND THE MADE PEACE IN FRANCE ONCE IN FOR ALL. England needed a leader, it was becoming its own, including Wales n Ireland.

Politics. Catherine's parents were a symbolic marriage representing Castile and Aragon. Catherine as the product of that union represented all the good that the union would produce for Spain. The Pope needed Spain as an ally. Spain was solidly Roman Catholic exceeding only the Normans in religiosity. If he approved the annulment he could lose an important ally .England itself needed the marriage to remain intact. Catherine was a descendant of John of Gaunt son of Edward III. Catherine brought legitimacy to the Tudors whose claim to the throne was shakier. An heir would solidify the Tudor claim to the throne of England because of Catherine's ancestry back to the Angevin kings. Obviously Henry had no concern for this and wanted only a son since there was no rule about regnant queens. Parliament of course had to make a decision on that point after the death of Edward VI. Mary would help renew relations with Spain and the Vatican. A marriage with Philippe II of Spain would unite England to Spain if they were to have an heir. England would have a Spanish king and return to the Catholic fold. All of this could only take place if Henry remained married to Catherine and Mary as the legitimate monarch of England.

Actually, it was more complicated than that. It was Elinor / Aliénor of Aquitaine who first wanted an annulment !! Something unheard of in history ! It was a queen who wanted to repudiate her king ! The pretext was that they were fourth cousins- a fact that was already known. During the royal couple 's disastrous Crusade to Jerusalem, rumour had it that Elinor had had an affair with her own uncle Raymond, Prince of Antioche. Anyway, the queen was sick and tired of her husband. The pope and the King of France 's closest councillor managed to have Louis VII and Elinor reconciled. A second daughter was born of their brief reconciliation. However, three years later, this time, it's the king who wanted to have an annulment on the same pretext and maybe because the state of their relationship was so bad that producing a male heir would have been difficult. It is supposed that the queen had already in mind to marry Henry duke of Normandy aka Henri , comte d'Anjou et duc de Normandie ! Geoffroy , her future brother-in-law , wanted to kidnap and marry her but fortunately for the ex-queen of France and future queen of England, it was Henry who married her. They were in love and probably lovers. Elinor was a very beautiful woman although she was 11 years older than him. By the way, Henry was still the vassal of the King of France, even though he was the king of England. He was born in France ( Le Mans ) and died in France ( Château Chinon). This awkward situation eventually led to the one hundred years 'war with the one of the Kings of England 's claim to inherit the throne of France by birthright.
