If by this you mean, Why do I think the reign of Henry II was amazing I'd say it's because he had 4 feuding sons and, remarkably(?), crowned one of them King while he was still King. Add the Anarchic years preceding him and then Eleanor into the mix and I think it gets quite interesting
You're right that finding stuff out for yourself is half the fun but as a father of a 7 year old girl I'm constantly looking for strong felmale figures and role models that will allow her to feel the freedom and self-determination that is rightly hers, just, at the start of C21!
