Biography

Henry II (5 March 1133 – 6 July 1189) was King of England from 1154 until his death in 1189. He was the first king of the House of Plantagenet. King Louis VII of France made him Duke of Normandy in 1150. Henry became Count of Anjou and Maine upon the death of his father, Count Geoffrey V, in 1151. His marriage in 1152 to Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose marriage to Louis VII had recently been annulled, made him Duke of Aquitaine. He became Count of Nantes by treaty in 1158. Before he was 40 he controlled England, large parts of Wales, the eastern half of Ireland, and western France along with Brittany and Scotland—the Angevin Empire. Historians praise him as one of the most effective and influential monarchs in history, and his reign draws continual interest from academic and popular historians. Among them Winston Churchill, who described Henry as a great king and the first great English lawgiver, whose reign left a deep mark on English institutions and thereby the Anglophonic world.
