"Sunday the 26th of March, 1676, was sadly remarkable to us for the tidings of a very deplorable disaster brought into Boston about five o'clock that afternoon, by a post from Dedham, viz., that Captain Pierce of Scituate in Plymouth Colony, having intelligence in his garrison at Seaconicke, that a party of the enemy lay near Mr. Blackstorne's, went forth with sixty-three English and twenty of the Cape Indians (who had all along continued faithful, and joyned with them), and upon their march discovered rambling in an obscure woody place, four or five Indians, who, in getting away from us halted as if they had been lame or wounded. But our men had pursued them but a little way into the woods before they found them to be only decoys to draw them into their ambuscade; for on a sudden, they discovered about five hundred Indians, who in very good order, furiously attacked them, being as readily received by ours; so that the fight began to be very fierce and dubious, and our men had made the enemy begin to retreat, but so slowly that it scarce deserved the name, when a fresh company of about four hundred Indians came in; so that the English and their few Indian friends were quite surrounded and beset on every side. Yet they made a brave resistance for about two hours; during which time they did great execution upon their enemy, who they kept at a distance and themselves in order. For Captain Pierce cast his sixty-three English and twenty Indians into a ring, and six fought back to back, and were double - double distance all in one ring, whilst the Indians were as thick as they could stand, thirty deep. Overpowered with whose numbers, the said Captain and fifty-five of his English and ten of their Indian friends were slain upon the place, which in such a cause and upon such disadvantages may certainly be titled "The Bed of Honor." However, they sold their worthy lives at a gallant rate, it being affirmed by those few that not without wonderful difficulty and many wounds made their escape, that the Indians lost as many fighting men in this engagement as were killed in the battle in the swamp near Narragansett, mentioned in our last letter, which were generally computed to be above three hundred."
Today, in Scituate, there is a Captain Michael Pierce Monument and a Captain Pierce Road.

     According to some accounts, Matilda was named Alice at birth, but her father Henry I changed her name to honour her mother, Matilda of Scotland (who had herself changed her name to honour Henry's mother).

Matilda's marriage to Geoffrey was mostly stormy. In 1131, three years after they married, Matilda returned to her father, Henry I. Then, according to Henry of Huntingdon, she was sent back to Geoffrey "and given a reception fitting for such a virago."

According to some sources, Matilda died in 1169.

Portrayed by Martita Hunt in the 1964 film, "Becket."

Portrayed by Brenda Bruce in the 1978 BBC-2 series, "The Devil's Crown."

     King Henry was styled as, "Rex Angliae, Dux Normaniae et Aquitaniae et Comes Andigaviae." This appears to be the first official use of the title, "King of England," rather than "King of the English, " although modern historians give the title to all sovereigns from William the Conqueror.

Crowned by Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Henry supported a petition to Rome to make Edward the Confessor a saint. Edward was canonized in 1161, and on 13 October 1163, Henry was present at a ceremony in Westminster Abbey at which Archbishop Thomas Becket elevated Edward's remains.

Henry was known for his excellent memory, as well as for his occasional fits of bad temper, which involved rolling on the floor and biting furniture.

It was said that Henry could speak every language used in Europe, from France to the Holy Land--but he probably could not speak English.

Henry was very interested in learning. Peter of Blois said, "With the King of England, it is school every day; there is always conversation with learned men and discussion of learned problems."

Traditionally, Henry's dying words are supposed to have been, "Shame, shame on a conquered king," referring to his sons' insurrections.

Portrayed by Peter O'Toole in both the 1964 film "Becket" and the 1968 film "Lion in Winter."

Portrayed by Brian Cox in the 1978 BBC-2 series, "The Devil's Crown."

Henry II "Curt Mantel" (?) King of England was born on 5 March 1133 at Le Mans, Sarthe, France.¹ He was the son of Geoffrey V Plantagenet (?) Duke of Normandy, Count of Anjou and Matilda (?) Queen of England and Empress of Germany. Henry II "Curt Mantel" (?) King of England married Eleanor of Aquitaine (?), daughter of William X (?) Duke of Aquitaine and Aenor Aimery, on 18 May 1152 at Bordeaux, Gironde, France.¹ Henry II "Curt Mantel" (?) King of England was crowned on 19 December 1154. He died on 6 July 1189 at Chinon, Indre-et-Loire, France, at age 56.¹

     Eleanor of Aquitaine (?) Eleanor of Aquitaine (about 1122 - April 1, 1204) was one of the most powerful people of the Middle Ages and the richest and most powerful woman in Europe during her lifetime. She was married first to the French King Louis VII and then to the English King Henry II, a marriage that produced the two English kings Richard the Lionheart and John. Her father was William X, Duke of Aquitaine, and her mother was Aenor Aimery, the daughter of Aimeric I, Vicomte of Chatellerault. When Eleanor was born she was named after her mother and called "Alia Aenor", which in Latin means "other Aenor", but it became "Eleanor" in English. She was raised in one of Europe's most cultured courts, the birthplace of the courtly love poetry invented by her grandfather, William IX of Aquitaine, the Troubador.


The eldest of three children, she became heiress to the province of Aquitaine, largest and richest of the provinces that would become modern France, when her only brother died as a baby. As soon as her father died in 1137, when she was 15 years old, Eleanor became the target of marriage proposals from all parts of Europe. She married King Louis VII of France, bringing to the marriage her vast possessions from the river Loire to the Pyrenees, most of what is now the west of France. She also gave him a wedding present that is still in existence, a rock crystal vase. She took part in the Crusades with some female contemporaries but as the feudal leader of the soldiers from her duchy. The story that she and her ladies dressed as Amazons is disputed by serious historians, and her conduct was repeatedly criticized by Church elders as indecorous. However her testimonial launch of the 2nd Crusade from Vezalay, the rumored location of Mary Magdalene's interment, dramatically emphasized the role she led women to play in the campaign. While in the eastern Mediterranean countries, she learned about maritime conventions developing there that were the beginnings of what would become the field of admiralty law, and she later introduced those conventions in her own lands, on the island of Oleron in 1160, and then into England, while she was acting as regent for her son, King Richard.

Even before the Crusade, Eleanor and Louis were becoming estranged as vigor and piety clashed. She sided with her flamboyant, handsome uncle, Raymond of Toulouse, in his desire to re-capture the County of Edessa. Louis preferred to visit Jerusalem which eventually led to a debilitating campaign. When Eleanor declared her intention to stand with Raymond for Edessa, Louis had her brought with him by force. Eleanor's imprisonment disheartened her Aquitaine knights and Magdalene followers and the divided Crusade armies could not overcome the Muslim forces. For reasons unknown Louis and the Crusade kings targeted Damascus, an ally until the attack. Failed, they retired to Jerusalem and sailed home. When they passed through Rome on the way to Paris, the Pope himself tried to reconcile Eleanor and Louis, and Eleanor did conceive their second daughter (Alix (or Alice) Capet, the first being Marie de Champagne), but there was no saving their marriage. In 1152 the marriage to Louis was annulled on the grounds of consanguinity. Her vast estates reverted to her and were considered no longer a portion of the French royal properties.

Within a year, Eleanor married Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Anjou, who was shortly to become king of England. She was eleven years older than he and related to him in the same degree as she had been to Louis. She bore Henry five sons and three daughters — (William, Henry the Young King, Richard I "the Lionheart", Geoffrey, Duke of Brittany, John "Lackland", Matilda, Eleanor, and Joan) — over the next thirteen years. Some time between 1168 and 1173, Eleanor instigated a separation, deciding that from then on she would mostly remain in her own territory of Poitou where she developed the rumored Court of Love, while Henry concentrated on controlling his increasingly large empire elsewhere. A small fragment of her codes and practises remain written by Andreas Capellanus.

In 1173, Eleanor took part in a rebellion against Henry (see Revolt of 1173-1174), in league with three of their four surviving legitimate sons, although his other sons stood by him. Henry in 1170 had Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Beckett murdered and Europe was outraged. Eleanor was certainly incensed by Henry's numerous sexual dalliances leaving a division of family inheritance. She was annoyed with his attempts to control her patrimony of Aquitaine and the social progress of her court Poitiers. The rebellion was put down, and Eleanor was imprisoned by Henry at the age of 50 for the next fifteen years.

Upon Henry's death in 1189, her son Richard inherited the throne and released his mother from prison. She ruled England while Richard went off to Crusade. She survived him and lived long enough to see her youngest son John on the throne.

Eleanor died in 1204 and was entombed in Fontevraud Abbey near her husband Henry and her son Richard. Her tomb effigy shows her reading a Bible.

Eleanor in historical fiction
Eleanor and Henry are the main characters in the play The Lion in Winter, by James Goldman, which was made into a film starring Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn. The depiction of her in the film Becket is totally inaccurate. She appears briefly in the BBC production Ivanhoe portrayed by Sian Phillips. She is also a major character in Thomas B. Costain's Below the Salt, and the subject of E. L. Konigsburg's children's book A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Aquitaine. Eleanor's name appears on a charter for the first time in 1129, when she was seven. She, her parents and her brother witnessed the parchment, and she signed her initials in ink.

Eleanor went on crusade with first husband Louis VII.

Eleanor's marriage to Louis was ended on the grounds of consanguinity.

When Eleanor married Henry, she brought with her 42 gowns, 14 pairs of shoes, 5 mantles, and 10 undershirts.

Eleanor's ancestral palace at Poitiers is now the Palace of Justice. Some of the changes that she made can still be seen.

A character in Shakespeare's play, King John.

Constance of Brittany makes a bitter speech--the use of baby talk makes it one of the most cynical in all of Shakespeare's plays, which is saying a lot--to her son Arthur and his grandmother Eleanor, who has backed John instead of Arthur: "Do, child, go to it grandam, child; Give grandam kingdom, and it grandam will Give it a plum, a cherry, and a fig. There's a good grandam!..." King John Act 2, scene 1

She was born in 1122. She was the daughter of William X (?) Duke of Aquitaine and Aenor Aimery. Eleanor of Aquitaine (?) married Henry II "Curt Mantel" (?) King of England, son of Geoffrey V Plantagenet (?) Duke of Normandy, Count of Anjou and Matilda (?) Queen of England and Empress of Germany, on 18 May 1152 at Bordeaux, Gironde, France.¹ Eleanor of Aquitaine (?) died on 1 April 1204 at Fontevraud, Anjou, France.

     King John was styled as, "Joannes Rex Angliae et Dominus Hiberniae, Dux Normaniae et Aquitaniae et Comes Andigaviae."

Crowned by Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury.

John's first marriage was anulled on the grounds of consanguinity.

John was not particularly religious, even before being excommunicated. Once while John was hunting, a large stag was killed. "What a fine life that animal has had, and yet it has never heard holy Mass."

John had a drooping left eye, as did his son Henry III, and grandson Edward I.

Died of dysentery.

King John was, of course, the title character in Shakespeare's play King John, which is better theatre than history but much better history than his Richard III. King Philip of France says to John, during a parley: "But thou from loving England art so far That thou hast under-wrought his lawful king, Cut off the sequence of posterity, Outfaced infant state, and done a rape Upon the maiden virtue of the crown." King John Act 2, scene 1

John "Lackland" (?) King of England was born on 24 December 1167 at Beaumont Palace, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England.¹ He was the son of Henry II "Curt Mantel" (?) King of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine (?). John "Lackland" (?) King of England married Isabella of Gloucester (?) on 29 August 1189.¹ John "Lackland" (?) King of England married Isabel of Angouleme (?) on 24 August 1200 at Bordeaux, Gironde, France.¹ John "Lackland" (?) King of England died on 19 October 1216 at Newark Castle, Nottinghamshire, England, at age 48.¹ He was buried at Worcester Cathedral, Worcester, England.¹

     Isabel of Angouleme (?) was born in 1186 at Angouleme, France. She married John "Lackland" (?) King of England, son of Henry II "Curt Mantel" (?) King of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine (?), on 24 August 1200 at Bordeaux, Gironde, France.¹ Isabel of Angouleme (?) died on 31 May 1246 at Fontevraud, Anjou, France.

     In the latter part of his reign, King Henry was styled as, "Rex Angliae, Dominus Hiberniae, et Dux Aquitaniae," conspicuously leaving off the "Dux Normaniae" of his predecessors.

Henry was crowned by Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, and again by Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Henry had a droopy eye, which appears to be a genetic trait of some of the Plantagenets; his son, Edward I, inherited it.

For Henry's wedding, he wore cloth of gold, which had recently been invented.

When his son Edward was born, Henry extorted so many presents from the London merchants that one said, "God gave us this child, but the king sells him to us."

Henry's zoo at the Tower of London was one of the most advanced in Europe. One of his favourite animals was a lion, a gift from Louis IX of France. A letter the King sent to sheriffs of London read, "We bid you to cause William, the keeper of our lion, to have 14s, which he spent on buying chains and other things for the use of the said lion." Henry also appreciated other gifts. Emperor Frederick II sent him three leopards in 1235 in token of his royal shield of arms, wherein three leopards were pictured. In 1252, the king of Norway gave Henry a white bear. In 1255, Louis IX exceded the sensation he had made with the lion by presenting an elephant, which lived for three years. It was buried in the Tower grounds, only to be exhumed so that its bones could be sent to the sacristan of Westminster. The menagerie existed into the 18th century. When he visited it in 1731, Emperor Francis I played with a four-month old lion cub, picking it up and pulling its whiskers. Parts of the Lion Tower and the Lion Gate can still be seen at the Tower of London.

Although Henry is remembered as a mostly ineffectual ruler, even his critics concede that he was a great builder-king. His most ambitious construction project was rebuilding Westminster Abbey, an undertaking he financed from his private funds. Although exceptionally pious for a medieval ruler, he may also have been motivated by competition with his brother-in-law Louis IX of France (St. Louis) and his beautiful Sainte-Chapelle, the stained glass chapel Louis was building at the time that Henry was planning the Abbey.

Among the improvements Henry made to the Tower of London was the installation of the most advanced privies of the day. He wrote to his clerk of works in 1245 complaining that the facility in his rooms "smelled badly", and ordered it to be replaced "even though it should cost one hundred pounds."

According to some sources, Henry died at Westminster Palace.

Henry III (?) King of England was born on 1 October 1207 at Winchester, Hampshire, England.¹ He was the son of John "Lackland" (?) King of England and Isabel of Angouleme (?). Henry III (?) King of England married Eleanor of Provence (?) on 14 January 1236 at Canterbury, Kent, England.¹ Henry III (?) King of England died on 16 November 1272 at Westminster, London, England, at age 65.¹

     Eleanor of Provence (?) was born in 1222 at Aix-en-Provence, France. She married Henry III (?) King of England, son of John "Lackland" (?) King of England and Isabel of Angouleme (?), on 14 January 1236 at Canterbury, Kent, England.¹ Eleanor of Provence (?) died on 24 June 1291 at Amesbury, Wiltshire, England.

     King Edward was styled as, "Rex Angliae, Dominus Hiberniae, et Dux Aquitaniae."

Edward was crowned by Robert Kilwardby, Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey was made for Edward in 1299.

Edward's left eyelid drooped slightly, which he inherited from his father Henry III. He also spoke with a slight stammer.

Edward was the most well-travelled king since Richard I, going on crusade (from 1270 to 1274) before he became king, and travelling through Italy on his way home.

Like many Plantagenet kings, Edward occasionally displayed a bad temper. He is said to have thrown his daughter Elizabeth's coronet into the fire at her wedding; the privy purse account read, "to make good a ruby and an emerald lost out of the coronet, when the King's grace was pleased to throw it behind the fire." At another wedding, he supposedly hit one of his squires on the head so severely that he paid L13 6s 8d in settlement.

Throughout his life, Edward was known for his luck. When he was a boy, he leaped up from a chess game with his knights; seconds later, a large stone fell from the ceiling, exactly where Edward had been sitting.

Edward I "Longshanks" (?) King of England was born on 17 June 1239 at Westminster, London, England.¹ He was the son of Henry III (?) King of England and Eleanor of Provence (?). Edward I "Longshanks" (?) King of England married Eleanor of Castile (?) on 18 October 1254 at Burgos, Spain.¹ Edward I "Longshanks" (?) King of England was crowned on 19 August 1272.¹ He died on 8 July 1307 at Burgh-by-Sands, Cumberland, England, at age 68.¹ He was buried at Westminster Abbey.¹
