GEOFFREY IV
1158 - 1186


Geoffrey was also called Geoffrey Plantagenet. He was duke of Brittany and earl of Richmond.

Geoffrey's family was as follows:
father - Henry II; mother - Eleanor of Aquitaine; brothers - Richard Lionheart and John.

He married Constance in 1181 and had a daughter, Eleanor, and a son, Arthur I.

Geoffrey's family was a mess. If he didn't fight against his father, Geoffrey was at war with his brothers. Eventually, he fought both - dad and siblings.
