Isabella of Angouleme was his second wife.
King of England 1199-1216.
Youngest son of Henry II, he had himself declared heir (1191) in Richard I's
absence. His probable murder of his nephew Arthur (1203), territorial losses
in France (1204-5), and aggressive acts against the church made him extremely
unpopular. Excommunicated in 1212, he was forced to submit and enlist the
pope's support against his enemies (1213). At Runnymede (1215) he was
compelled to accede to his barons' demands in the Magna Carta. Thereupon John
attacked his opponents. Civil war ensued, during which John died, possibly
poisoned.

Edmund of_Woodstock ( 1301- 1330), 3. Eleanor [---].
Count of Anjou (a province in France). Supposedly he wore a spring of a plant
called "plantagenet", and this was adopted as the surname of him and all his
English male descendants.
He was also Duke of Normandy.
King of England 1100-1135.
On William II's death (his brother), he was crowned king (1100). His elder
brother Robert, duke of Normakdy, claimed his throne, but Henry defeated him
and captured all his lands at Tinchebrai (1106). Henry married an Englishwoman
and reformed the judicial and fiscal administration, but his reign was troubled
by unruly barons, wars with the French and Welsh, and the death (1120) of his
heir William.
Father:Duncan I [---] Birth: ABT 1031 of,Scotland
Death: 13 NOV 1093
Notes:
King of Scotland, 1059-1093.
Saint Margaret was his second wife.
He succeeded his father, Duncan I, by slaying the usurper, Macbeth. Despite
paying homage to William I (1072), he repeatedly raided England.
Duke of Normandy
The Conqueror
King of England, 1066-87.
The illegitimate son of Robert I of Normandy, he was unwillingly accepted as
Robert's heir, succeeding to the dukedom of Normandy in 1035. Supported
initially by Henry I, king of France, he consolidated his position in Normandy
against hostile neighbors throughout the 1050s and expanded his territory in
1060. Having apparently been designated Edward the Confessor's successor as
king of England, William secured the agreement of Harold, Earl of Wessex to his
accession. Harold's assumption of kingship was the direct cause of William's
invasion of Engalnd and the ensuing Battle of Hastings (1066) . Ruthlessly
crushing internal resistance and defeating the invading Danes, he completed his
conquest by 1070. He established stable government through astute land
distribution and by instituting feudalism in England. One of the greatest
achievements of his reign was the compilation of the Domesday Book (1986).
Note: His grandmother was Gunnor/Gonnor (b. Abt 950), who was dau. of
Herbastus, Sire of Crepon (b. abt 911), and sister of Herfast (male), Sainfria,
Weiwa, and Awelina (females). I wasn't sure from camfield@@olympus.net's
posting which side this was on. He also mentioned having a succession of
Danish Kings from Frode VII (d. 548) through Harald II (d. 981), purported to
be father of Gunnor (but he discounts that one).
