In 1135 Stephen of Blois usurped the throne sparking the Anarchy, a bitter 19-year Civil War. On the one side was Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I and rightful heir to the throne, on the other Matilda of Boulogne wife of Stephen and fighting to see her own son inherit the English crown.
Join leading medieval historian Sharon Bennett Connolly, author of Women of the Anarchy, for the dazzling tale of two extraordinary cousins who shaped the English monarchy, and the intriguing role of Robert of Gloucester.
