19 years of Civil War, known as the Anarchy, was between first cousins King Stephen and Empress Matilda, but Sharon Bennett Connolly persuasively argues that it could be more accurately be thought of as a conflict between Queen Matilda, Stephen's wife and the Empress Matilda.
I caught up with Sharon for her second interview with me, and oour first in person, at the Gloucester History Festival Spring Weekend.
Until next time, Philippa 💜
