Heirs to the Lion

Birth of an heir

On 1188, Joan of England would again conceive a child for her husband, Guiglielmo II of Sicily, she had a dead son on 1182 and at this point the future Holy Roman Empress, Constance is the heir to the Kingdom of Sicily and the birth of a son would be celebrated on May 10, 1189, however her husband Guiglielmo II would die on 1190, requiring her to be the regent for the new King of Sicily for a time, she would remarry to William, a son of a claimant to the Kingdom of Sicily to secure the succession of Sicily, since she is currently raising the King of Sicily who is currently under her regency not allowing others to interrupt the regency although the Germans are trying to kill the child so that Sicily would be theirs, the other threat would be from Tancred which was neutralized by marrying Tancred’s son herself, she would also secure the future and succession of Sicily.
