Best Answer

Yes. If a son, nephew or a person who thought they should be king wanted the crown they would work against the sitting king. Good example of this was Eleanor of Aquitaine who wanted to move her son onto the throne and displace her husband King Henry. She managed to gather enough support from others and form an army. She attacked Henry, but lost the battle. Since Eleanor was queen Henry chose to put her in exile instead of killing her for her disloyalty, but he never trusted her again. Many kings faced traitors within their courts and had to contend with this as a daily fact.
