ARTHUR I
1187 - 1203 (?)
Arthur the First didn't live too long as he was
in the way of his uncle John.
Arthur was Duke of Brittany. This is the map
location of Brittany:

BRITTANY, FRANCE
Arthur's grandfather was famous
English King
Henry II. His father was
Geoffrey IV, his uncles were
Richard Lionheart and
John, who most likely
arranged his premature death. Why would John do such a nasty thing?
Because Richard was king and didn't
have any kids of his own. So Richard announced that Arthur would be
heir to the English throne. John made a long face but not for too
long.
Arthur was captured by John in
battle at Mirebeau-en-Poitou on August 1, 1202, and subsequently
imprisoned / murdered.
