REF: British Monarchy Official Web site: Henry I was succeeded by his
nephew Stephen of Blois (reigned 1135-54), his only legitimate son having
drowned in the wreck of the White Ship which sank in the English Channel
in 1120. Although widely preferred in England and Normandy as Henry's
successor, Stephen lacked ruthlessness and failed to ins pire loyalty.
Henry's daughter, Matilda, invaded England in 1139 to claim the throne
and the country was plunged into civil war. Neither side was strong
enough to win and the war ended only in 1153 when Matilda's son, Henry,
Coun t of Anjou, was recognised as heir to the throne.
