Stephen was a Norman King. The last of them. There would have been no civil war if that bitch queen mother wouldnt have been around.
The result was Henry the 2nd, then young Henry, who the Old King wouldnt let do anything and was young King in name only, then Richard and then John Lackland.
Well, I guess Matilda won by the virtue of her son (Henry II) succeeding Stephen and turning out to be a great king who oversaw the birth of English Common Law
