[1204] "With the loss of Normandy nothing remained to John but his mother's inheritance, and against this Philip next turned. Queen Eleanor, eighty-two years of age, had closed hermarvellous career on April 1, and no question of her rights stood in the way of the absorption of all Aquitaine in France..."
p406: "The great duchy founded three hundred years before on the colonization of the Northmen, always one of themightiest of the feudal states of France, all the dominions which the counts of Anjou had struggled to bring together through so many generations, the disputed claims on Maine and Britanny recognized now for a long time as going with Normandy,a part even of the splendid possessions of the dukes of Aquitaine- all these in little more than two years Philip had transferred from the possession of the king of England to his own, and all except Britanny to the royal domain.

For the king of England it was a corresponding loss in prestige and brilliancy of position.
