The Revolt of 1173–1174, sometimes referred to as the Great Revolt, was a rebellion against King Henry II of England led by three of his sons, his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their supporters. The revolt lasted eighteen months and ended in failure; Henry's opponents were forced to submit and were ultimately reconciled with him.
