This, however, has so far not found much vent in words, for as it was uncertain whether you would ever return to claim your rights, it was worth no one's while to embroil himself unnecessarily with the prince on such a subject. God knows that there are subjects enough of dispute between John Lackland and the English barons without any fresh ones arising. The kingdom is in a state of disturbance.
During the absence of Richard Coeur-de-Lion in Palestine John became exceedingly friendly with Philip Augustus, the French King, but when Richard was dead he found cause to quarrel with the new English king and, after the fall of the Chateau Gaillard, John soon discovered that he had lost the Duchy of Normandy and had earned for himself the name of "Lackland."
That night we held a council of war in the Flibberty's cabin. 'What we want, says Miss Lackland, 'is a hostage." "'That's what they do in books, I said, thinking to laugh her away from her folly," Munster interrupted. "'True, says she, 'and have you never seen the books come true? I shook my head. 'Then you're not too old to learn, says she.

Seventeen campaigns, more or less energetic and systematic, the Normans had fought. Munster was still in 1185 when John Lackland made his memorable exit and entrance on the scene almost wholly in the hands of the ancient clans. Connaught was as yet without a single Norman garrison.
Britanny had been secured for Geoffrey in 1171; in June 1172 Richard was enthroned as Duke of Aquitaine; in the following August Henry was crowned for the second time King of England. Only the youngest child, scarcely five years old, was still "John Lackland," and in this same year Henry provided a dominion for John by a treaty of marriage between him and the heiress of the Count of Maurienne.
John, nicknamed "Lackland," the youngest brother of Richard, succeeded him in England and in Normandy without dispute. But their little nephew Arthur was already Count of Brittany; and the other French possessions of the Plantagenets Anjou, Maine, and Touraine declared for Arthur in preference to John.
Search for the supposed father had been continued by Lackland, Hawkins and himself for several years, but Laura was not informed of it till after the death of Hawkins, for fear of raising false hopes in her mind. Here the Distract Attorney arose and said, "Your Honor, I must positively object to letting the witness wander off into all these irrelevant details." Mr. Braham.
Through the quiet forest, untouched as yet by any fidgeting culture, and much as it was when John Lackland wooed Hawisa under, its venerable oaks, old even then, the little widow moved like a light flame.
And although Henry in the year 1185 created his youngest son, John Lackland, "lord of Ireland," it was precisely in the same spirit and with as much ground of title as he had for creating Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath, or John de Courcy, Earl of Ulster.
