How did royal power in England progress from William to Henry 2 to John to Edward?
BIG VERSIONWilliam was succeeded by his son William II (William Rufus), who was succeeded by his brother, Henry I, who should have been succeeded by his only surviving legitimate child, Matilda.However, England wasn't ready for a female monarch, so Matilda's cousin, her father's nephew Stephen, managed to take the throne and fought it out with Matilda during a period known as "the Anarchy". The eventual result was that Matilda's son became Stephen's heir and succeeded him as Henry II.Henry was succeeded by his son Richard (the Lionhearted), who died with no children, so he was succeeded by his brother, John. John was succeeded by his son, Henry III, who was succeeded by HIS son Edward I. I had to look some of this up but this is pretty much the basis of it.SIMPLE VERSIONWilliam II took the throne from his father, William I, after his brother Henry I took throne. Henrys only surviving child to take throne would have been a female, Matilda, they did not want a female monarch though. So her cousin took throne, Stephen. Matildas son then became ruler, Henry II. Then came Henry III, and onto his son Edward I. I tried to cut right to the details for a quick answer, hope this helps!!
