Margaret of France’s pregnancy
Her husband became co-ruler with his father in 1170. Because Archbishop Thomas Becket was in exile, Margaret was not crowned along with her husband on 14 July 1170. This omission and the coronation being handled by a surrogate greatly angered her father. To please the French King, Henry II had his son and Margaret crowned together in Winchester Cathedral on August 27, 1172. When Margaret became pregnant, she held her confinement in Paris , where she gave to their eldest son William on August 19 1177[1], Margaret of France would give to two further surviving children namely Alice of Normandy b. December 2, 1178 and Henry b. January 4 1181.
