The choice is limited, I know, but no one bothered to write down such important details :-) We know that Richard I favoured Otto, Matilda's son, and perhaps Henri of Champagne, but no records mention the Young King's relationship with his nephews or nieces, at least to my knowledge.Katarzyna Ogrodnik-Fujcikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415905019122111675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-11443769066130165152014-12-08T20:27:21.165+00:002014-12-08T20:27:21.165+00:00Staggering!

They were extremely close - and I wonder if she was the dominating factor in her husband's rise. I know there has been discussion of incest, but that might have been to blacken Edward's name - and Eleanor's. It might just be they were merely close friends and Edward trusted her completely. perhaps more than his wife Isabella?<br /><br />As for Margaret - I can only hope she was happy to marry Piers - and no, we don't know much about her. But she followed him on his second exile to Ireland when she didn't have to.
