The Chad Pastoralist: History

King Henry II (1133-1189) was the son of Geoffrey V de Anjou (1113-1151), the founder of the Plantagenet royal dynasty that ruled England until the death of King Richard III (1452-1485) at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

Henry II's maternal grandfather was King Henry I (1068-1135), the son of William the Conqueror (1028-1087). Henry I married Matilda of Scotland (1080-1118), daughter of Malcolm III 'Canmore' (d. 1093) and Margaret (1045-1093), daughter of the Anglo-Saxon Edward the Exile (1016-1057), thus connecting Henry II to Alfred the Great, making Henry II a descendant of Wōden.

Archdeacon Henry of Huntingdon (1080-1160) in Historia Anglorum lists Wōden as a divine ancestor of King Henry II. Huntingdon depicts Wōden as a crowned king surrounded by His royal descendants, holding what appears to be a form of the fleur de lys. His attire resembles the contemporary Anglo-Norman fashion and culture of the 11th-12th centuries which typified the English as a people from the High Middle Ages through to the Early Modern Period.
