Henry the Young King
Henry the Young King (1155-1183), son of Henry II and uncle to Henry III.
In 1170, the fifteen-year-old Henry was crowned king, but he never actually ruled and is not counted in the monarchs of England; he is now known as Henry the Young King to distinguish him from his nephew Henry III of England. He broke with his father and allied with his mother in a lengthy civil war in which he tried to wrest the corwn from his aged father. Upon his death, his father is said to have exclaimed: "He cost me much, but I wish he had lived to cost me more." He was married to Margaret of France.
