The famous “surfeit of lampreys” death xP
Stephen’s a jerk. So’s all the other dudes who reneged on their word. (But I kinda understand why some of them did it, from a fear perspective). Still. I highly dislike Stephen.
Eleanor of Aquitaine is mentioned 🤩
I’m team Matilda.

…the ship has sunk :(
They were kinda idiotic, though, getting everyone drunk. Even some of the would-be passengers noticed this and left. Drunk fools chased off the monks sent to bless the journey too. (I’m not superstitious but I do believe there is something to praying for protection before journeys.)
There were so many problems on so many levels here.
Henry I never should’ve left a bunch of young kids alone.
