William IX of Montpellier
William IX( Occitan" Guilhem" or" Guillem") was the lord of Montpellier from 1202 until 1204.
He was the last lord of the Guilhem lineage.
William IX was the eldest son of William VIII of Montpellier.
His mother, Agnes( Spanish" Inés"), was related to the kings of Aragon.
She was William VIII's second wife, married in 1187 after he left his first wife, Eudokia Komnene, who was the mother of his daughter and heiress, Mary.
William VIII struggled to get the church, the townspeople and neighbouring lords to recognise the legitimacy of his second marriage and his son.
William IX had five full brothers and two full sisters.
William IX succeeded his father in 1202 in accordance with the latter's final will and testament( dated that same year) and in contravention of the marriage treaty with Eudokia.
William's government included many features, such as a Council of Fifteen, that were new in Montpellier.
These had been created by his father in an effort to get the townspeople to accept his chosen heir.
In 1204, Mary married the divorced King Peter II of Aragon, who thus obtained a claim on Montpellier.
The townspeople rebelled against William's government and drove him and the Council from the town.
They invited Peter and Mary to take over the lordship.
After he was exiled from Montpellier, William IX held the castle of Paulhan until his death.
Both Peter II's divorce case and the case of William IX's legitimacy were litigated in Rome in 1212 – 13.
Pope Innocent III decided in favour of Peter, legitimising his marriage to Mary and their children, in January 1213.
He decided against William, rejecting his father's marriage to Agnes as adulterous and declaring him illegitimate, in April 1213.
Peter of Poitiers (secretary)
Peter of Poitiers was a monk who served as secretary( Latin:" notarius") to Peter the Venerable, the ninth abbot of Cluny.
Little is known of his life.
Presumably he came from the French city of Poitiers or its vicinity.
Raymond of Poitiers
Raymond of Poitiers( c. 1099- 29 June 1149) was Prince of Antioch from 1136 to 1149.
He was the younger son of William IX, Duke of Aquitaine and his wife Philippa, Countess of Toulouse, born in the very year that his father the Duke began his infamous liaison with Dangereuse de Chatelherault.
Henry II of England
Henry II (5 March 1133 – 6 July 1189), also known as Henry Curtmantle , Henry FitzEmpress or Henry Plantagenet, was King of England from 1154 to his death.
King Louis VII of France made him Duke of Normandy in 1150.
Henry became Count of Anjou and Maine upon the death of his father, Geoffrey of Anjou, in 1151.
His marriage in 1152 to Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, whose marriage to Louis VII had recently been annulled, made him Duke of Aquitaine.
He became Count of Nantes by treaty in 1185.
At various times, Henry also partially controlled Scotland, Wales and the Duchy of Brittany.
Before he was 40 he controlled England, large parts of Wales, the eastern half of Ireland and the western half of France—an area that would later come to be called the Angevin Empire.
Henry became actively involved by the age of 14 in the efforts of his mother Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England, to claim the throne of England, then occupied by Stephen of Blois.
Stephen agreed to a peace treaty after Henry's military expedition to England in 1153, and Henry inherited the kingdom on Stephen's death a year later.
Henry was an energetic and sometimes ruthless ruler, driven by a desire to restore the lands and privileges of his grandfather Henry I. During the early years of his reign
the younger Henry restored the royal administration in England, re-established hegemony over Wales and gained full control over his lands in Anjou, Maine and Touraine.
Henry's desire to reform the relationship with the Church led to conflict with his former friend Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
This controversy lasted for much of the 1160s and resulted in Becket's murder in 1170.
Henry soon came into conflict with Louis VII and the two rulers fought what has been termed a "cold war" over several decades.
Henry expanded his empire at Louis's expense, taking Brittany and pushing east into central France and south into Toulouse; despite numerous peace conferences and treaties no lasting agreement was reached.
Henry and Eleanor had eight children—three daughters and five sons.
Three of his sons would be king, though Henry the Young King was named his father's co-ruler rather than a stand-alone king.
As the sons grew up, tensions over the future inheritance of the empire began to emerge, encouraged by Louis and his son King Philip II.
In 1173 Henry's heir apparent, "Young Henry", rebelled in protest; he was joined by his brothers Richard (later a king) and Geoffrey and by their mother, Eleanor.
France, Scotland, Brittany, Flanders, and Boulogne allied themselves with the rebels.
The Great Revolt was only defeated by Henry's vigorous military action and talented local commanders, many of them "new men" appointed for their loyalty and administrative skills.
Young Henry and Geoffrey revolted again in 1183, resulting in Young Henry's death.
The Norman invasion of Ireland provided lands for his youngest son John (later a king), but Henry struggled to find ways to satisfy all his sons' desires for land and immediate power.
By 1189, Young Henry and Geoffrey were dead, and Philip successfully played on Richard's fears that Henry II would make John king, leading to a final rebellion.
Decisively defeated by Philip and Richard and suffering from a bleeding ulcer, Henry retreated to Chinon castle in Anjou.
He died soon afterwards and was succeeded by Richard.
Henry's empire quickly collapsed during the reign of his son John, but many of the changes Henry introduced during his long rule had long-term consequences.
Henry's legal changes are generally considered to have laid the basis for the English Common Law, while his intervention in Brittany, Wales, and Scotland shaped the development of their societies and governmental systems.
Historical interpretations of Henry's reign have changed considerably over time.
In the 18th century, scholars argued that Henry was a driving force in the creation of a genuinely English monarchy and, ultimately, a unified Britain.
During the Victorian expansion of the British Empire, historians were keenly interested in the formation of Henry's own empire, but they also expressed concern over his private life and treatment of Becket.
Late-20th-century historians have combined British and French historical accounts of Henry, challenging earlier Anglocentric interpretations of his reign.

Theodred II (Bishop of Elmham)

William IX, Count of Poitiers
William (17 August 1153 – 2 December 1156) was the first son of Henry II, King of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
He was born in Normandy on the same day that his father's rival, Eustace IV of Boulogne, died.
William died in 2 December 1156, aged three.
This was due to a seizure at Wallingford Castle, and he was buried in Reading Abbey at the feet of his great-grandfather Henry I.
At the time of his death, William was reigning as Count of Poitiers, as his mother had ceded the county to him.
For centuries, the dukes of Aquitaine had held this as one of their minor titles, so it had passed to Eleanor from her father; giving it to her son was effectively a revival of the title, separating it from the duchy.
Some authorities say he also held the title of "Archbishop of York", but this is probably an error.
His half-brother Geoffrey (died 1212), who was born a year before William, later held that office, causing the confusion.
