King Henry II of England and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine brought the Plantagenet Dynasty to power with an Angevin Empire ruling more of France than its proclaimed King, Louis VII. This was the time of Thomas Becket, the great Third Crusade, When Richard I, Cour de Leon, fought Saracens and ruled both England and a growing realm in Europe. This was an age where the Capetian king Philip II of France arose to match Richard's successes with his own diplomatic maneuvers, and so effectively countered Angevin successes as to check and undermine the English plans. There was yet the Hundred Years War to be fought, but when the first decade of the Thirteenth Century came to a close, there was no longer real doubt as to the fate of the Angevin Empire.
