Notes
1. Stephen, although a Norman king, was from the House of Blois. He seized the crown on Henry I's death from Henry's only daughter Matilda, the only legitimate son William having drowned in 1120. War followed, the outcome of which was that on Stephen's death the crown would revert to Matilda's line and her son Henry, which it did in 1154.
