Description

An account of the civil war that dominated Stephen's reign which suggests that there were really two separate wars: the war for Matilda's succession, which began in 1139 and ended in 1148, and the war for Henry's succession. Both wars are examined in detail through the various campaigns giving insight into the horrors of twelfth-century war.
