| iv. | Steven Blois King of, Half 28G Uncle, M. Born in 1095 in Blois, France. Steven Blois King of died in Dover Castle, Kent on 25 Oct 1154, he was 59. REFN: 3848 Though charming, attractive and (when required) a brave warrior, S tephen (reigned 1135-54) lacked ruthlessness and failed to inspire loyalty. H e could neither control his friends nor subdue his enemies, despite the sup port of his brother Henry of Blois (Bishop of Winchester) and his able wife M atilda of Boulogne. Henry I's daughter Matilda invaded England in 1139 to cla im the throne, and the country was plunged into civil war. Although anarchy n ever spread over the whole country, local feuds were pursued under the cover of the civil war; the bond between the King and the nobles broke down, and se nior figures (including Stephen's brother Henry) freely changed allegiances a s it suited them. In 1141, Stephen was captured at Lincoln and his defeat seem ed certain. However, Matilda's arrogant behaviour antagonised even her own su pporters (Angevins), and Stephen was released in exchange for her captured al ly and illegitimate half-brother earl Robert of Gloucester. After the latte r's death in 1147, Matilda retired to Normandy (which her husband, the Count of Anjou had conquered) in 1148. Stephen's throne was still disputed. Matilda 's eldest son Henry, who had been given Normandy by his father in 1150 and wh o had married the heiress Eleanor Duchess of Aquitaine, invaded England in 11 49 and again in 1153. Stephen fought stubbornly against Henry; Stephen even a ttempted to ensure his son Eustace's succession by having him crowned in Step hen's lifetime. The Church refused (having quarrelled with the king some year s previously); Eustace's death later in 1153 helped lead to a negotiated peac e (the treaty of Wallingford) under which Henry would inherit the throne afte r Stephen's death. In 1125 when Steven Blois King of was 30, he married Matilda Countess of Boulogne, 1C28R, F, daughter of Eustace III Count of Boulogne, M (bef 1082-bef 1161) & Mary of Scotland, F (-31 May 1116), in Westminster Abbey, London, England. Born Bet. 1103 - 1105 in Boulogne. Matilda Countess of died in Hedingham Castle, Essex, England on 3 May 1152, she was 49. REFN: 5223 REFN14819 |
