"... Henry II King of England

Reason:

Plantagenet was a nickname for Geoffrey. ... His descendants in England remained without one (a hereditary surname) for more than 250 years. The first official use of the surname Plantagenet by any descendant of Geoffrey occurred in 1460 when Richard, Duke of York, claimed the throne as "Richard Plantaginet".
