Editing List of English monarchs (section)

== House of Plantagenet (1154–1485) ==
{{Main|House of Plantagenet}}

The House of Plantagenet takes its name from [[Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou]], husband of Empress Matilda and father of Henry II. The name Plantagenet itself was unknown as a family name ''per se'' until [[Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York|Richard of York]] adopted it as his family name in the 15th century. It has since been retroactively applied to English monarchs from Henry II onward. It is common among modern historians to refer to Henry II and his sons as the "Angevins" due to their vast continental empire, and most of the Angevin kings before John spent more time in their continental possessions than in England.

=== Angevin kings of England ===
{{Main|Angevin Empire|Angevin kings of England}}
King Stephen came to an agreement with Matilda in November 1153 with the signing of the [[Treaty of Wallingford]], in which Stephen recognised [[Henry II of England|Henry]], son of Matilda and her second husband [[Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou]], as the designated heir. The royal house descended from Matilda and Geoffrey is widely known by two names, the [[Angevin kings of England|House of Anjou]] (after Geoffrey's title as Count of Anjou) or the [[House of Plantagenet]], after his [[sobriquet]]. Some historians prefer to group the subsequent kings into two groups, before and after the loss of the bulk of their French possessions, although they are not different royal houses.

The Angevins (from the French term meaning "from Anjou") ruled over the [[Angevin Empire]] during the 12th and 13th centuries, an area stretching from the Pyrenees to Ireland. They did not regard England as their primary home until most of their continental domains were lost by [[John, King of England|King John]]. The direct, eldest male line from Henry II includes monarchs commonly grouped together as the House of Plantagenet, which was the name given to the dynasty after the loss of most of their continental possessions, while [[cadet branch]]es of this line became known as the [[House of Lancaster]] and the [[House of York]] during the [[War of the Roses]].

The Angevins formulated [[coat of arms of England|England's royal coat of arms]], which usually showed other kingdoms held or claimed by them or their successors, although without [[Lordship of Ireland|representation of Ireland]] for quite some time. ''[[Dieu et mon droit]]'' was first used as a [[battle cry]] by [[Richard I of England|Richard I]] in 1198 at the [[Battle of Gisors]], when he defeated the forces of [[Philip II of France]].<ref name=Pine-53/><ref>{{Cite book |last=Norris |first=Herbert |title=Medieval Costume and Fashion |date=1999 |publisher=Courier Dover Publications |isbn=978-0-486-40486-8 |edition=illustrated, reprint |page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=xiqahsJPHSgC&pg=PA312 312]}}</ref> It has generally been used as the motto of English monarchs since being adopted by [[Edward III]].<ref name="Pine-53">{{Cite book |last=Pine |first=Leslie Gilbert |title=A Dictionary of mottoes |date=1983 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-7100-9339-4 |page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=dHE9AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA53 53]}}</ref>

====Disputed claimant (House of Capet)====

The future '''[[Louis VIII of France]]''' briefly won two-thirds of England over to his side from May 1216 to September 1217 at the conclusion of the [[First Barons' War]] against [[John, King of England|King John]]. The then-Prince Louis landed on the [[Isle of Thanet]], off the north Kent coast, on 21 May 1216, and marched more or less unopposed to London, where the streets were lined with cheering crowds. At a grand ceremony in St. Paul's Cathedral, on 2 June 1216, in the presence of numerous English clergy and nobles, the Mayor of London and Alexander II of Scotland, Prince Louis was proclaimed King Louis of England (though not crowned). In less than a month, "King Louis" controlled more than half of the country and enjoyed the support of two-thirds of the barons. However, he suffered military defeat at the hands of the English fleet. By signing the [[Treaty of Lambeth]] in September 1217, Louis gained 10,000 marks and agreed he had never been the legitimate king of England.<ref>{{Cite web |title=England: Louis of France's Claim to the Throne of England: 1216–1217 |url=http://www.archontology.org/nations/uk/england/king_england/01_louis_france.php |access-date=30 May 2012 |publisher=Archontology.org}}</ref> "King Louis" remains one of the least known kings to have ruled over a substantial part of England.<ref>"[https://thecrownchronicles.co.uk/history/the-only-2-louis-in-british-history-uncrowned-king-louis-the-lion-prince-louis-of-cambridge/ The Only Two Louis in British History]".
