Henry, the Young King (1155–1183)

Eldest son of Henry II, he was crowned 1170 as his father's successor and associate while his father was still king, in line with continental custom to avoid a disputed succession. However, it only succeeded in making the young Henry, incited by his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine, impatient for the power he regarded as rightfully his and he joined the baronial revolt against his father 1173–74. He was reconciled with his father 1174, but joined his brother Geoffrey in a subsequent rebellion during which he died.
