Normandy, 1199

Alice of France

“John, you will be the king of England, not the son of Richard.”

John of England

“Yes, I am going to be the King as the Kids of my brother are still kids and the Kingdom of England does not need to have regencies.”

Alice of France:

“Make sure of That”

John of England

“Yes, I will, and I will marry your nephew to my niece, Infanta Urraca.”

Alice of France

“I abhor Richard and his kids!”

On 1199, John would usurp the English throne and betroth his niece, Urraca to Prince Louis of France and sent his mother, Eleanor to fetch Princess Urraca, apparently, John would want to have kids sooner so he would set aside his wife Isabella of Gloucester in favor to marry Princess Alice in 1192, the two would have two children, named Philippe(1193) and Geoffroy(1198), Princess Alice would die in 1200 and John would take Isabella of Angouleme as his second wife.

If John and Alice were never married, doesn't that make their children ineligible to inherit as bastards? I don't think legitimisation was a thing outside of Game of Thrones.

They are married because Alice married John, I clarified it when I edited it, when I first posted this, it was vague.

The Treaty of Le Goulet
The Treaty of Le Goulet

The Treaty of Le Goulet was signed by Kings John of England and Philip II of France in May 1200. It concerned bringing an end to the war over the Duchy of Normandy and finalizing the new borders of what was left of the duchy. The treaty was a victory for Philip in asserting his legal claims to overlordship over John's French lands. A consequence of the treaty was the separation of the Channel Islands from Normandy.

The terms of the treaty signed at Le Goulet, an island in the middle of the Seine river near Vernon in Normandy, included clarifications of the feudal relationships binding the monarchs. Philip recognized John as King of England, heir to his brother Richard I, and thus formally strengthened his support of John against the children of Richard I and Geoffrey II of Brittany. John, meanwhile, formally recognized the new status of the lost Norman territories by acknowledging the Counts of Boulogne and Flanders as vassals of the kings of France, not those of England, and recognized Philip as the suzerain of the continental lands in the Angevin Empire. John also bound himself not to support any rebellions on the part of the counts of Boulogne and Flanders.

Philip had previously recognized John as suzerain of Anjou and the Duchy of Brittany, but with the treaty of le Goulet, he extorted 20,000 marks sterling as "relief" in payment for recognition of John's sovereignty of Brittany.

The treaty also included territorial concessions by John to Philip. The Vexin (except for Les Andelys, where Château Gaillard, vital to the defense of the region, was located) and the Évrécin in Normandy, as well as Issoudun, Graçay, and the fief of André de Chauvigny in Berry were to be removed from Angevin suzerainty and put directly into that of France.

The Duchy of Aquitaine was not included in the treaty. It was still held by his still-living mother, Eleanor. The treaty was sealed with a marriage alliance between the Angevin and Capetian dynasties. John's niece Urraca, daughter of his sister Leonora and Alfonso VIII of Castile, married Philip's eldest son, Louis VIII of France (to be eventually known as Louis the Lion). The marriage alliance only assured a strong regent for the minority of Louis IX of France.

John.”

On a certain time after the death of Richard the Lionhearted, Constance of Toulouse would find that she would feel some morning sickness.

Constance of Toulouse

“I am pregnant, Sancho..”

Sancho

“Yes, I already have the heir I have waited for a long time.”

However, Constance would give birth to a daughter who was named as Sancha of Navarre in 1199 and another daughter named Constance would be born on 1203.

On the mind of Berengaria, she is thinking about the future of his two children and who would they marry, Berengaria would fancy that her eldest would marry Maria of Montferrat and be the King of Jerusalem and the birth of the daughter of her brother, would mean that her son, William can have a bride and could inherit her own Kingdom.

Berengaria would give up the thought of regaining the Kingdom of England, but fate has other plans for them.

Berengaria of Navarre

“I am seeking tribute to you as the lord of my son and I am giving them to you as wards.”

Philippe

“I am the overlord of France, I am confirming the will of Eleanor of Aquitaine wherein William of England would be William XI of Aquitaine.”

Berengaria of Navarre

“I would rule Aquitaine as a regent until my son, William XI of Aquitaine would be able to rule the duchy.”

Isabella of Jerusalem
“I have an idea who to marry my daughters, Maria and Alice..”

Guy of Lusignan
“What?”

Isabella of Jerusalem
“Maria would marry Henry, the son of Richard, the Lionheart and Alice would marry Frederick I of Sicily, the son of the Holy Roman Emperor.”

Guy of Lusignan
“Henry? The son of the King of England?”

Isabella of Jerusalem
“Yes, as Henry has no prospects of regaining his rightful crown and that would be peace between my second husband and my third husband’s family.”
