• Notes

  Note: Alice Matilda was supposed to take over her Father's crown upon his death, but the-powers-that-be did not think that it wasproper for a woman to become ruler, so her cousin, Stephenbecame King. She was designated Henry's heir, and on his death (1135),Stephen siezed the throne and Matilda invaded England (1139) inuagurating a period of inconclusive civil war. She and her second husband (Geoffrey)captured Normandy and in 1152 the Treaty of Wallingford recognised Henry as Stephen's heir. Burke says she was betrothedin her eighth year (1119) to Henry.
