The Anarchy (Encore)

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

In the mid-12th century, England was in chaos. 

The king of England, Henry I, died without an heir. The country was divided between forces loyal to his daughter, Matilda, and his nephew, Stephen. 

For almost two decades, armed conflicts resulted in a breakdown of law and order and central authority.

Learn more about The Anarchy, how it began, and how it ended on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
