The Norman dynasty of William I. reigned over Britain between 1066 and 1154 AD when Henry II. Curtmantle Plantagenet took over the government.

Henry II. was born in Le Mans France as son of Geoffroy d' Anjou and Mathilda (Maud) of Normandy, daughter of Henry I.. His father brought him the French territories of Anjou, Maine and Touraine, his maternal heritage was Normandy and his rightful claim of the English throne. By marriage to Eleonor of Aquitaine (1122-1204) Henry II. won Poitou, Guyenne and Gascogne in France, on top he conquered a part of Ireland. The regional gains in France made him more powerful there than the French King himself.

Against papal power claims he issued the Clarendon Constitutions in 1164 but ended up in quarrels with Thomas Becket. He founded the English government in Ireland.
