The Plantagenet dynasty, known for their Angevin kings' vast holdings in both France and Britain, left an indelible mark on history. It all began with Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, whose marriage to Empress Matilda laid the foundation for this powerful lineage. Shakespeare immortalized one of the most infamous Plantagenets in his play "Richard III, " brilliantly portrayed by Laurence Olivier in the 1956 film adaptation. This captivating tale delves into the Machiavellian schemes and ruthless ambition that characterized Richard's reign. The Houses of York and Lancaster, two branches of the Plantagenet family tree, engaged in a bitter struggle for power during the Wars of the Roses. Their origins traced back to Edward III and culminated in Henry VII's ascension to the throne. A vividly illustrated genealogy showcases their heraldry and badges. Richard I, better known as Richard the Lionheart, epitomized chivalry and valor during his eventful rule from 1157-1199. His exploits on crusade earned him legendary status throughout Europe. The Treaty of Bretigny marked a significant territorial settlement between England and France in 1360 under Edward III's reign. This agreement reshaped borders while preserving peace between these historical rivals. Henry II's coronation journey with his queen Eleanor of Aquitaine captured imaginations as they entered Winchester en route to London in 1154. This momentous event symbolized their joint rule over England's vast domains. Elizabeth Woodville's first meeting with King Edward IV sparked a love story that would forever intertwine her fate with that of her husband's turbulent reign. Their union brought about political alliances but also sowed seeds of discontent within court circles. The mysterious disappearance of "The Young Princes in The Tower" remains one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries.
