WI Salian England,

POD 1) WI empress Matilda and Henry V had a son. how would that effect early 12th century England and HRE? Would the anarchy still happen?.

POD 2) Matilda gives birth to a son after Henry's death, so Lothair has already has a power base to claim the imperial throne.
 
Personally,I think old Henry might just legitimize one of his many bastards instead.I think the Pope might just help out on this one considering he isn't at best terms with the Salians.
