<P> Meanwhile, Henry rebuilt his alliance with Fulk of Anjou, this time by marrying Matilda to Fulk's eldest son, Geoffrey . The pair were betrothed in 1127 and married the following year . It is unknown whether Henry intended Geoffrey to have any future claim on England or Normandy, and he was probably keeping his son - in - law's status deliberately uncertain . Similarly, although Matilda was granted a number of Normandy castles as part of her dowry, it was not specified when the couple would actually take possession of them . Fulk left Anjou for Jerusalem in 1129, declaring Geoffrey the Count of Anjou and Maine . The marriage proved difficult, as the couple did not particularly like each other and the disputed castles proved a point of contention, resulting in Matilda returning to Normandy later that year . Henry appears to have blamed Geoffrey for the separation, but in 1131 the couple were reconciled . Much to the pleasure and relief of Henry, Matilda then gave birth to a sequence of two sons, Henry and Geoffrey, in 1133 and 1134 . </P> <P> Relations between Henry, Matilda, and Geoffrey became increasingly strained during the King's final years . Matilda and Geoffrey suspected that they lacked genuine support in England . In 1135 they urged Henry to hand over the royal castles in Normandy to Matilda whilst he was still alive, and insisted that the Norman nobility swear immediate allegiance to her, thereby giving the couple a more powerful position after Henry's death . Henry angrily declined to do so, probably out of concern that Geoffrey would try to seize power in Normandy . A fresh rebellion broke out amongst the barons in southern Normandy, led by William, the Count of Ponthieu, whereupon Geoffrey and Matilda intervened in support of the rebels . </P> <P> Henry campaigned throughout the autumn, strengthening the southern frontier, and then travelled to Lyons - la - Forêt in November to enjoy some hunting, still apparently healthy . There Henry fell ill--according to the chronicler Henry of Huntingdon, he ate a number of lampreys against his physician's advice--and his condition worsened over the course of a week . Once the condition appeared terminal, Henry gave confession and summoned Archbishop Hugh of Amiens, who was joined by Robert of Gloucester and other members of the court . In accordance with custom, preparations were made to settle Henry's outstanding debts and to revoke outstanding sentences of forfeiture . The King died on 1 December 1135, and his corpse was taken to Rouen accompanied by the barons, where it was embalmed; his entrails were buried locally at the priory of Notre - Dame du Pré, and the preserved body was taken on to England, where it was interred at Reading Abbey . </P> <P> Despite Henry's efforts, the succession was disputed . When news began to spread of the King's death, Geoffrey and Matilda were in Anjou supporting the rebels in their campaign against the royal army, which included a number of Matilda's supporters such as Robert of Gloucester . Many of these barons had taken an oath to stay in Normandy until the late king was properly buried, which prevented them from returning to England . The Norman nobility discussed declaring Theobald of Blois king . Theobald's younger brother, Stephen of Blois, quickly crossed from Boulogne to England, however, accompanied by his military household . With the help of his brother, Henry of Blois, he seized power in England and was crowned king on 22 December . The Empress Matilda did not give up her claim to England and Normandy, leading to the prolonged civil war known as the Anarchy between 1135 and 1153 . </P>
