The Year 1135
Important Events
In England, a big event happened with the death of King Henry I. He was the son of William the Conqueror and had ruled England for many years. His death led to a difficult time because there was no clear male heir to take his place.
King Henry I wanted his daughter, Matilda, to become queen. However, some powerful nobles did not want a woman to rule. This disagreement eventually led to a long period of fighting and instability in England, known as "The Anarchy." It was a time when different groups fought for control of the throne.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, different leaders were in power. The Byzantine Empire, a powerful empire in Eastern Europe, continued to thrive. In China, the Song Dynasty was facing its own challenges, even as its former emperor passed away.
