So I've recently been reading about the Anarchy, a period of civil war following the disputed succession that occurred after King Henry the First died without a son to take up his crown. There were two claimants during that war, King Stephen of Blois and Empress Mathilda, Mathilda being the only living child of the dead king. So my question is, if Mathilda dies in infancy, and a butterfly net is used, and the White ship still goes down, how would having King Stephen of Blois as the undeniable king of England alter history?
