The Idiotic Sons of Henry II
Podcast: Tudors Dynasty & BeyondPublished On: Thu Mar 26 2026
Description: As a king, having “an heir and a spare” is ideal—but Henry II of England may have taken things a bit too far with four ambitious sons: Henry the Young King, Richard I of England, Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany, and John, King of England.Join Matthew Lewis and me for a lively and unfiltered conversation about the unbelievable—and often chaotic—stories of the sons of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II. Rivalries, rebellions, betrayals…this family drama has it all.It’s a wild ride (with a little swearing), so buckle up—Henry II certainly had to.--If you haven't already, check out Matt's podcast: Gone MedievalMatt's books: https://mattlewisauthor.com/--Want to support the podcast?
