The Family That Rules The World!

Every ruler of the fourteen eyes countries are direct descendants of the House Of Plantagenet! Yes, I have traced every U.S. President back to Henry II who is a direct descendant of the House Of Plantagenet except for James Buchanan who I suspect is an heir out of adultery and this includes Donald Trump.

The Plantagenets were the longest-ruling dynasty in British history. From the founding member, Henry II, taking the throne in 1154 to the death of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, England witnessed this extraordinary family’s turbulent reign. Generations of shifting loyalties and infighting saw fathers falling out with sons, brothers turning on brothers and cousins plotting to usurp the crown in a protracted and very real Game of Thrones. But according to legend, none of this would be surprising, as the dynasty is said to have been spawned by a powerful French count, and a demon.

The story goes that back in the mists of early medieval France, the Count of Anjou, Geoffrey Greymantle fell in love with a mysterious woman of unknown origin. Her beguiling beauty drew the Count into a precipitous marriage, and the couple had three children. But in an age when life revolved around religion and regular worship, the Count became concerned that his wife attended mass only rarely, and even then she was restless in church and always left before the crucial Holy Communion took place. One day, the Count ordered his soldiers to restrain her, but she broke free, screaming wildly, and flew out of a window. The Countess was never seen again.
It was her line that gave rise to the Plantagenet dynasty. Fast forward a few generations to the early 12th Century, and enter Geoffrey ‘the Fair’, son of Faulk V, Count of Anjou. Said to be a tall, handsome and strong young man, it was Geoffrey that acquired the enduring name of Plantagenet, but not in any official way; instead it was a nickname that caught on because he often adorned his hat with a sprig of yellow flowers from the Broom plant, the Latin for which is planta genista.

In 1128, at the age of 15, Geoffrey Plantagenet was married off by his father to the Empress Matilda, widowed daughter and heiress to the English Norman king Henry I. Although the couple couldn’t stand each other, they were eventually forced into reconciliation and told to get on with producing an heir. The resultant eldest son was to become the first Plantagenet king of England, Henry II. No-one in the family actually used the name, however, until the 1460’s, when Richard, Duke of York, father to Richard III, took Plantagenet as a surname to emphasise York’s superiority over the Lancastrians in the claim for the English throne.

Over the centuries, their story of demonic ancestry provided an explanation for the legendary ferocious tempers that ran through the Plantagenet line, as well as the almost supernatural success that some of them enjoyed on the battlefield.
