• Notes

  He was the first of the Angevin Kings. Reigned for 35 years. He ruled an empire that stretched from theTweed to the Pyrenees. In spite of frequent hostitilties with the French King his own family and rebellious Barons (culminating in the great revolt of 1173-74) and his quarrel with Thomas Becket, Henry maintained control over his possessions until shortly before his death. His judicial and administrative reforms which increased Royal control and influence at the expense of the Barons were of great constitutional importance. Introduced trial by Jury. Dukeof Normandy. He built: Chester, London, Westminster Abbey, Sutton at Home,Walsingham and Worcester.
