Notes:

Henry II "Curt Mantel," Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine and Anjou, King Of
England became king in 1154. At the height of his power, Henry ruled England
and almost all western France. His marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, the most
famous woman of the age, brought the duchy of Aquitaine under his control.
Henry also claimed to rule Scotland, Wales, and eastern Ireland.

Henry II carried on his grandfather's policy of limiting the power of the
nobles. He also tried to make the Roman Catholic Church in England submit to
his authority. This policy brought him into conflict with Thomas a Becket,
Archbishop of Canterbury. Four of the king's knights murdered Becket while he
was at vespers in his cathedral.

Henry made Anglo-Saxon common law, rather than the revised Roman law, the
supreme law of the land. He introduced trial by jury and circuit courts. In
his later years, Henry's sons often rebelled against him. Two of them, Richard
the Lion-Hearted and John, became the next two kings of England.

Notes:

Henry I "Beauclerc" King Of England succeeded his brother, William II, in 1100.
Henry helped unite the Saxons and Normans in England. To gain the favor of his
Saxon subjects, he married Matilda, daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland and his
Saxon wife Margaret.

During his reign, Henry worked to restrain the growing power of the barons. He
promoted the Norman system of centralized rule and gave the royal courts greater
authority. His wars against rebellious nobles in France helped start a feeling
of English nationalism.
