In 1186 Henry's next son died in a
tournament.
Now there was only
Richard and John left, with Richard as heir to the throne. Both
Richard and John were angry with their father Henry II as he would
not give them any power of their own and would not let them go on
Crusade.
In 1187 Jerusalem
had fallen to the Turks with the loss of many Crusader Knights.
Philippe II of France used the conflict between the King of England
and his two remaining sons for his own aims and managed to get both
Richard and John to conspire against their father.
In July 1189,
abandoned by his own sons, Henry II died.
