Individual Notes
• She was designated Henry’s heir, and on his death (1135), Stephen seized the throne and Matilda invaded England (1139), inaugurating a period of inconclusive civil war. She and her second husband (Geoffrey) captured Normandy and in 1152 the Treaty of Wallingford recognized Henry as Stephen’s heir.
Burke says she was betrothed in her eight year (1119) to Henry.
