The Anarchy

After the White Ship Disaster saw Henry I’s only legitimate son lost, he tried to secure the succession of his daughter, Empress Matilda. Instead, his nephew would become King Stephen. Stephen’s nineteen year reign is remembered as The Anarchy as he and his cousin Matilda fought for the crown of England. Matt Lewis leads us through the action and politics of this complex moment in history, and asks whether it really was all that anarchic.
