Chapter 9
On 1216, a barons war against King John of England would erupt and would invite Prince Louis of France as the King of France as the descendant of William the Conqueror and dejure uxoris for Eleanor of Brittany and he and Eleanor would make a voyage to England to reclaim the lost throne and Eleanor would give birth to two last children, Richard and Elizabeth on England and she and her husband would war with King John I.

King John's death in October 1216 caused many of the rebellious barons to desert Louis in favour of John's nine-year-old son, Henry III, however Eleanor and Louis would negotiate with the barons to recognize William, the second son of Eleanor of Brittany and Louis VIII as the King of England instead of the son of King John and she would brought forward her daughter, Constance of France as the bride of Alexander of Scotland to marry the King and Eleanor and Louis VIII would sign Magna Carta for their son, William.

Isabella of Angouleme and her sons would leave for Angouleme and remarry to Hugh of Lusignan and reclaim her inheritance of Angouleme while her children would be under the care of William Marshal who would go to Ireland and establish a separate Kingdom of Ireland that claims the Kingdom of England as they would rule it as the rulers of Ireland itself and they would try to invade England again on 1221 without success.

On 1217 due to the success of Eleanor of Brittany and Louis VIII, the two would remain on England until 1218 and they would assign the Duke of Champagne as their regent for England for William III until his majority on 1221 when he married Mahaut of Boulogne uniting the Blesvin and Angevin claims and set for England for him to start his own rule.
