Sons of the Lion
A daughter was born
Richard had Berengaria brought to him by his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine. Since Richard was already on the Third Crusade, having wasted no time in setting off after his coronation, the two women had a long and difficult journey to catch up with him. They arrived at Messina in Sicily during Lent (when the marriage could not take place) in 1191 and were joined by Richard's sister Joan, the widowed Queen of Sicily. The two women became good friends and Berengaria was left in Joan's custody. En route to the Holy Land, the ship carrying Berengaria and Joan ran aground off the coast of Cyprus, and they were threatened by the island's ruler, Isaac Comnenus. Richard came to their rescue, captured the island, and overthrew Comnenus. Berengaria married Richard the Lionheart on 12 May 1191, in the Chapel of St George at Limassol on Cyprus, and was crowned the same day by the Archbishop of Bordeaux and Bishops of Évreux and Bayonne.
After the wedding Richard had a nightmare and decided to consummate the marriage in Cyprus which would have left his wife Berengaria leaving her courses late and was revealed to be pregnant, however, Richard I and Berengaria would embark to Jerusalem, however the two would be on separate ships and Berengaria and Richard would separate till they meet on Jerusalem, she would give birth to a daughter and a son in Jerusalem named Berengaria and Henry on March 10 of 1192, it was said that their birth gave a light to King Richard I of England despite the fact that the marriage is primarily a political one, however, Richard would want a male heir his difficulty in return and separation with Berengaria and the birth of his daughter would mean that in his return after his captivity in Austria he would again successfully attempt to sire a male heir and in this time successfully as Berengaria is beautiful and has a proven fertility herself.
Berengaria of England would be a very eligible heiress when Richard I had no sons yet and it is no secret that Philippe II of France would want Berengaria of England married to his own son, Prince Louis but Richard would be against that kind of match between the two, Berengaria would return to England on 1194, with her daughter and namesake Berengaria, Berengaria would theoretically displace Arthur of Brittany from succession, she is followed by her own husband, Richard I of England.
In summer 1196, a marriage between Louis and the young Berengaria of England, daughter of Richard I of England, was suggested for an alliance between Philip II and Richard. This led to a sudden deterioration in relations between Richard and Philip and Richard I would sign an alliance with Odo II of Burgundy betrothing his niece Eleanor to Odo II of Burgundy as she is already not the heiress she would be easily married off.
Odo II of Burgundy
He married in 1194 Teresa of Portugal (1156–1218), the daughter of Afonso I of Portugal, and Matilda/Maud of Savoy, and the widow of Philip, Count of Flanders. She was repudiated in 1195, having produced no children.
In 1196, he married Eleanor of Brittany, Niece of King Richard(1184–1252), the daughter of Geoffrey II, duke of Brittany after his own divorce with Teresa of Portugal, she was just 12 years old at the marriage.
This marriage produced four surviving children:
Marie (1200–1223), married Raoul II of Lusignan (died 1250), Seigneur d'Issoudun and Count of Eu.
Alix (1204–1266) married Robert I (died 1262) Count of Clermont et Dauphin of Auvergne
Hugh IV (1213–1272), his successor in the Duchy
Mathilde (born 1216), married Humbert III of Thoire (died 1279)
