Stephen of England is captured by Matilda's forces in February, and in June she travels to London to claim the throne. Before she can be crowned at Westminster, however, the people of London become enraged by her arrogance and drive her from the city. In September her troops suffer a major defeat at Winchester, and two months later Stephen is released. He gradually defeats Matilda, who finally flees to Anjou in 1148.
