| Strategy (Most important) What was a half-victory? How was it solved later? What was broken up? What was a propaganda victory? What did Warren say about it? What was never lost? What was crossed and why? What does Dialogus say? | • First attempt to take Leicester was a half-victory, Henry took the town but not the castle. • Brabanters later took Leicester and Hugh Bigod’s lands. • Gisors peace talks in September 1173 only broken up by Earl Robert. • Henry did penance to Becket’s tomb on 12th July 1173, where he fasted for 3 days. • ‘Best way to separate St. Thomas from the rebels’ cause’ (Warren). • Henry never lost certain English North-South routes, which were crucial in Fall 1173. • Henry forced march across Rouen to Dol in 2 days to besiege Bretons. • ‘The mighty learned that to wrest the club from the hand of Hercules was no easy task’ (Dialogus de Scaccario). |
| Weakness Where was the Lion and when? What did he take? what didn't he take? what happened to him? Who seiged where on the continent? What happened? Who was beaten on march to where? What did McLynn say? | • William the Lion was in Northumbria in June 1173 and Spring 1174, where he captured Liddell, Burgh, Appleby, Harbottle and Warkworth. • William the Lion failed to take castles of Wark (withstood a lot) and Prudhoe. • William the Lion was captured in misty Alnwick the day after Henry’s penance. • Young Henry sieged Gourney, Louis Verneuil and Philip of Flanders Driencourt, but Louis lost faith when Mathew died. • Earl Robert was beaten on march to Leicester, despite outnumbering loyalists 4:1. • ‘Opposition collapsed like a house of cards’ (McLynn). |
| Pre-1173 What sparked Eleanor off? What happened to her? Why was Young Henry weak? Why were barons weak? | • Raymond’s homage at Limoges in 1173 sparked Eleanor, but she was captured. • Young Henry was deprived of money between 1171-2. Worcester 13s4d, Buckinghamshire 30s, Bedfordshire £20. • Cartae Baronum brought profit, but angered barons. • Adulterine castles seized from William of Boulogne and Hugh Bigod in 1157. |
| Loyalty Where was Henry popular? What did they do for him? What did M.Jones say about a loyalist? Who did he get support from? Why was he swift? What did D.Jones say about Scots as he approach? What did D.Jones say about the Church? | • Henry was popular in towns. Dunwich threw rocks at Flemings. • De Lucy was ‘efficient, meticulous, hard-working and, by 1170, highly experienced’ (M. Jones). • De Lucy got support from Reginald de Dunstanville, William of Gloucester & William d’Aubigny, who fought at Fornham. • De Lucy went from Leicester to the Scotch border to East Anglia, while the Earl of Leicester failed to reach Bigod castles. • As De Lucy approached Carlisle, the Scots ‘melted away to cause minor nuisance elsewhere’ (D. Jones). • ‘Despite everything that had gone before, the church supported him too’ (D. Jones). |
