1205 CE
John, hopeful of avoiding trouble in England and Wales while he is away fighting to recover his French lands, forms an alliance in 1205 by marrying off his illegitimate daughter, Joan, to the Welsh prince Llywelyn the Great, who had previously been negotiating with Pope Innocent III for leave to marry his uncle Rhodri's widow, daughter of Ragnald, King of Mann and the Isles.
This proposal had been dropped, however.
