There was a short reconciliation with the king in 1145/6 but after this he appeared to favour the Angevin cause. Whether Ranulph was so black a traitor as painted, or whether he was simply concerned with looking after his own house while the country fell apart is still the subject of much debate. Even after his death, Ranulfs ability to apparently "change sides" and stir up trouble seems to have been undiminished. | | | 0 | Children | Birth Death | Mother | Spouse | Grand Children |
