Excellent 'Ben' except that Matilda (also known as The Empress Maude) really should have come before Stephen. She was Henry's daughter but the knights of England wouldn't accept a Queen Regnant on the throne so her cousin Stephen took the throne in her stead. This plunged England into years of civil war. After Stephen's death (without a male heir after the death of his son) Matilda's son Henry inherited the throne
