NOTES: a.k.a.: Richard the Lion Hearted; Reign: 1189-99; When he was an infant, Richard was betrothed to a daughter of the French king Louis VII and in 1172 he was given the duchy of Aquitaine in France (his mother's inheritance). When he became king of England, he set out on the Third Crusade with Philip II, king of France (son of Louis VII). The Crusade was a failure. As king, Richard had chosen able ministers to whom he left most matters of administration. Under his rule, however, England suffered heavy taxation, levied to support his expeditions. Sometimes cruel, sometimes magnanimous, and always courageous, Richard was well versed in the knightly accomplishments of his age and was also a poet. He was to become the hero of many legendary tales.

NOTES: William of the House of Normandy; The first Norman King; On 28 Sep 1066 William secured the sanction of Pope Alexander II for a Norman invasion of England. By 1070 the Norman conquest of England was complete. William introduced the Continental system of feudalism; by the Oath of Salisbury of 1086 all landlords swore allegiance to William, thus establishing the precedent that a vassal's loyalty to the king overrode his fealty to his immediate lord. During a campaign against King Philip I of France, William fell from a horse and was fatally injured. William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy and Arletta, a tanner's daughter. He is sometimes called "William the Bastard".
