    		Geoffrey was not a king. As the site points out, he was the father of Henry II, who was the first Plantagenet king.

    		Yes, lanfranco, you're absolutely right. I always mention Geoff to my history class because I like the story about the sprig in his hat. But, no, he wasn't a king. My carelessness.
