In March 1173, the young Henry, launched the Revolt of 1173–1174 against his father, Henry II. He went secretly to Aquitaine where his two youthful brothers, Richard and Geoffrey, were living with their mother, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, With her connivance, so it is said, he incited them to join him. One source claimed that the Queen sent her younger sons to France rise up against the king. On 8 July 1174, young Henry and Eleanor took ship for England from Barfleur. As soon as they disembarked at Southampton, Eleanor was taken either to Winchester Castle or Sarum Castle and held there.
