BIOGRAPHY Matilda was the surviving legitimate heir to the crown of her father, Henry I, but she was denied by the council of elders in London on the grounds of her gender. The throne went to her cousin, Stephen of Blois. Stephen failed to solidify his hold on the throne, blundering immediately upon the invasion of the Scots led by David I [# 2796]. Although possessed of greater forces, Stephen conceded Cumberland and Westmorland without a fight. Next, he lost control of Normandy to rebellious barons. Upon this occurrence, Henry's illegitimate but influential son Earl Robert declared his allegiance to Matilda for the throne, and many English followed suit. The rebel force of Robert and Matilda landed in Sussex in 1139. He established the principal rebel position at Bristol, while she installed herself in Arundel. Eric Delderfield writes: "The nobility, during the decade of civil war that followed, threw in their lot with both sides, often to the highest bidder, and build castles from which they terrorized their areas. The countryside was ravaged, crops were destroyed, cattle were driven off, and people starved. It was, as the chronicler put it, a time when 'Christ and his saints slept.' At a critical battle outside Lincoln in 1141, Stephen was captured and taken to Bristol, where he was imprisoned in chains. Only his queen and William of Ypres in command of Flemish mercenaries held out in Essex and parts of Kent. Matilda was on the point of being crowned when her arrogant recession of grants made by Stephen alienated many barons. Her imposition of heavy taxes on Londoners induced them to take up arms, compelling Matilda to flee to Oxford. At another pivotal battle, at Winchester, Stephen's queen restored the balance by capturing Earl Robert. An exchange of Stephen and Earl Robert was arranged. The war dragged on in stalemate until in 1147, with the death of Earl Robert, Matilda gave up and left. But still the war dragged on, some in support of her son Henry Plantagenet, rather than Matilda herself. Stephen lost the church's support over demands that his son Eustace should be crowned, and his loyal queen died. When Eustace died, too, Stephen lost heart; the Treaty of Winchester ended the wretched war, confirming Henry Plantagenet as heir to the throne. Henry had only a year to wait for it.
