Richard I of England
Plantagenet Jerusalem
Matilda of Brittany would have survived her own sickness in 1189 and Richard would have wanted to get rid of John and he would think of an idea to get rid of his pesky brother John who could be gotten rid by marrying her to the ruler of Jerusalem which was his dad’s idea, he would have his brother John join him in Jerusalem.
King Richard would advise against a marriage with Isabella of Jerusalem to Henry of Champagne and instead he would arrange a marriage with John Lackland and Isabella of Jerusalem after she was widowed on 1193 after the death of Conrad of Montferrat who Richard was accused of killing due to his interests in controlling the Holy Land.
On 1193 John married Isabella of Jerusalem on 1195, she herself would give her husband five children, aside from her own eldest daughter who are also heirs to the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
-Henry October 1, 1197
-Richard January 5, 1199
-Joan July 22, 1200
-Isabella 1204
-Eleanor 1205
Now that John Lackland have maried Isabella of Jerusalem, Hawise of Gloucester was would marry Henry of Champagne in 1194, the nephew of her first husband, she would give birth to a son named Theobald b. 1196 and a daughter named Marie b. 1199, and their family would have lands in both France and England, which is Gloucester and Champagne, this was the idea of Richard in order to unite France and England’s nobility.
Richard would have easily passed to return to the Kingdom of England via Italy and France, however the death of Conrad of Montferrat would cause tension with the Holy Roman Emperor.
On 1199, Richard of England would have groomed his nephew Arthur of Brittany as the heir, he would be seen as a puppet of Philippe Auguste, Eleanor of Brittany would marry the future Louis VIII and a marriage between Matilda of Brittany and Sancho of Navarre to continue the Navarrese alliance as Berengaria would not have children of her own and the heir would be Arthur.
On this time Maria of Montferrat would be seen as the bride of Peter III of Aragon who sent his own emissaries to Jeruslam, now that the King of Jerusalem has two sons the succession of the Kingdom of Jerusalem is secure.
