England had a lawful heir. A rival reached the crown first.

When Henry I's only legitimate son drowned in the White Ship disaster of 1120, the future of the Anglo-Norman kingdom was thrown into uncertainty.

Henry compelled his barons to recognise his daughter Matilda as his successor. She was the widow of an emperor, the granddaughter of William the Conqueror and the mother of a new dynasty. Yet when Henry died in 1135, his nephew Stephen crossed the Channel, secured the royal treasury and was crowned before Matilda could act.
