Queen Matilda, daughter of Henry I.
It was not a happy reign. Many people questioned whether there should be a female sovereign in the first place, but also her husband was an unpopular man, considered to be an enemy of England.
Her position was challenged by her cousin, who called himself King Stephen, but the succession was settled on Matilda's son, who became Henry II.
