The Crown of England in 1066

Henry the first died in december 1135 now according to all the oaths and you know that everyone had been swearing supposedly the crown should have passed directly to Matilda but there was a lot of oh and then the barons all meeting together in little groups. There was some thought the barons of Normandy offered the duchy to the abold of blois we don't quite know whether that also implied that he should be the king of England as wellbut it was certainly a step in the right direction because he was the elder of king henry's two favorite nephews.
