About this listen

As the Plantagenet realm expanded across England and France, internal rivalries and uneasy alliances began to threaten its fragile unity. In this episode, explore the rebellions led by Henry II’s own sons, the growing legend of Richard the Lionheart, and the political struggles that tested the strength of the dynasty from within.


From the loss of Normandy to the sealing of Magna Carta at Runnymede, the Plantagenets were forced to adapt in order to survive. These reforms reshaped the English monarchy, limiting royal power while laying the foundations of a new legal order that would endure for centuries.
