• Notes

  [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #4588, Date of Import: Aug 24, 1997] The Plantagenet dynasty began with Henry II, son of Matilda and Geoffrey. Henry ruled from 1154 to 1189 over England and vast possessions in France. He centralized the English government, established peace and order, and founded the English common law system. His son, Richard the Lion-Hearted, led the Third Crusade and ruled from 1189 to 1199. Richard's younger brother John succeded him and ruled from 1199 to 1216. John lost most of England's French possessions, and was forced to grant the Magna Carta in 1215.
