Chapter 2
On 1195, Eleanor of Brittany is affianced to the future Louis VIII and given to the care of Philippe Auguste with the condition of peace between the Angevins and the Plantagenets which would start the treaty of Nantes wherein the peace between the Plantagenets and Angevins would happen, on 1195, the two would be married.

The conditions in the Treaty of Nantes were that Anjou, Maine, Normandy and Aquitaine would remain Plantagenet holdings under French suzerainty and they are not allowed to interfere with the other French vassals.

Apparently after the fact that Berengaria and Richard have been together for many years the two would have never have children as Richard would not have been fond of his wife which would lead to the situation and rivalry between his nephew Arthur I, Duke of Brittany and his own brother, John.

Richard and Philip II would have a good relationship and the two would remain in peace until his death on 1199.

On 1199, Richard I would die of an accident after trying to stop a revolt and he would remember that his heirs via his brother Geoffrey would be trustworthy for him so he would decide to disinherit Geoffrey’s kin for the Angevin Empire and given the succession to John.
