"Duke Geoffrey remained in Paris throughout the summer, occupied with various nefarious schemes, but these never came to fruition because on 18 or 19 August 1186 he died. Roger of Hoveden says he succumbed to a fever, yet other sources state that he took part in a tournament but was unsaddled in the mêlée and trampled to death. He was buried in the choir of Notre-Dame 'with but few regrets from his father, to whom he had been an unfaithful son, but with sore grief to the French.' Philip was so mad with grief at the loss of his friend that he had to be forcibly restrained from throwing himself upon the coffin in the open tomb. Geoffrey's half sister Marie, Countess of Champagne, was present at his funeral, and gave money for masses for his soul. He left Constance, his widow, pregnant with their third child."

"Once again it was an unexpected death which altered the situation. In a tournament in Paris in August 1186 Duke Geoffrey had been trampled to death. Philip, as overlord of Brittany, at once claimed custody of Geoffrey's two daughters, and threatened to invade Normandy if Henry II did not hand them over. Having forced the Old King on to the defensive, Philip was able, in subsequent negotiations, to demand that Richard stop his harassment of Toulouse."
