Description
Geoffrey Plantagenet, Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany and Earl of Richmond (23 September 1158 – 19 August 1186) was Duke of Brittany between 1181 and 1186.
He was the fourth son of King Henry II of England and Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine, thus brother to Richard I. of England (The Lionheart) and John I. of England (Lackland).
Geoffrey was a very close friend of Philip II. Augustus of France. He spent a lot of time at Philip's court in Paris, and Philip made him his seneschal.
Geoffrey died on 19 August 1186, at the age of twenty-eight, in Paris. There are two versions of his death. The more common first version, is that he was trampled to death in a jousting tournament. At his funeral, a grief-stricken Philip was said to have attempted jumping into the coffin.
He was buried at Notre Dame Cathedral.
