The name Plantagenet, according to Rapin, came from when Fulk the Great being stung from remorse for some wicked action, in order to atone for it, went a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and was scourged before the Holy Sepulchre with broom twigs. Earlier authorities say it was because Geoffrey bore a branch of yellow broom (Planta-genistae) in his helm.

Notes:

Empress Matilda, also known as the Empress Maude, was a significant figure during the tumultuous period known as the Anarchy in England. Born around February 7, 1102, she was the daughter and heir of King Henry I of England. Let’s delve into her remarkable life:

Early Life and Marriage:
As a child, Matilda was married to the future Holy Roman Emperor Henry V and spent her formative years in Germany.
In 1116, she traveled with the emperor to Italy, where she was controversially crowned empress in St. Peter’s Basilica and acted as the imperial regent.
Challenges and Succession Crisis:
Matilda faced a potential succession crisis when her younger brother, William Adelin, died in the White Ship disaster of 1120.
Upon her widowhood in the Holy Roman Empire, she returned to Normandy, where her father arranged her marriage to Geoffrey of Anjou to secure an alliance.
Claim to the English Throne:
King Henry I nominated Matilda as his heir, but this decision was met with opposition in his Anglo-Norman court.
When Henry I died in 1135, Matilda and Geoffrey faced challenges from the barons.
The throne was ultimately seized by her male cousin, Stephen of Blois, who became King of England with the backing of the English Church.
The Battle for England:
In 1139, Matilda crossed to England, supported by her half-brother Robert of Gloucester and her uncle David I of Scotland.
Her forces captured Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, but her attempt to be crowned at Westminster Abbey faced fierce opposition.
Although never formally declared Queen of England, she held the title of “Lady of the English”.
Legacy:
Matilda’s struggle for the throne left a lasting impact on English history.
Her story is one of political intrigue, power struggles, and determination.

She was designated Henry's heir, and on his death (1135), Stephen siezed the
throne and Matilda invaded England (1139) inuagurating a period of
inconclusive civil war. She and he second husband (Geoffrey) captured normandy
and in 1152 the Treaty of Wallingford recognised Henry as Stephen's heir.
Burke says she was betrothed in her eight year (1119) to Henry.

REF: British Monarchy Official Website: After William's death while hunting in the New Forest in 1100, his younger brother, Henry I (reigned 1100-35), succeeded to the throne. By 1106 he had captured Normandy from his brother,
Robert, who then spent the last 28 years of his life as his brother's prisoner. An energetic and decisive ruler, Henry centralised the administration of
England and Normandy in the royal court, and extended royal powers of patronage.
Acceded 1100-1135.

Henry I
William's younger brother Henry (reigned 1100-35) succeeded to the throne. He was crowned three days after his brother's death, against the possibility that his eldest brother Robert might claim the English throne. After the decisive battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 in France, Henry completed his conquest of Normandy from Robert, who then (unusually even for that time) spent the last 28 years of his life as his brother's prisoner. An energetic, decisive and occasionally cruel ruler, Henry centralised the administration of England and Normandy in the royal court, using 'viceroys' in Normandy and a group of advisers in England to act on his behalf when he was absent across the Channel. Henry successfully sought to increase royal revenues, as shown by the official records of his exchequer (the Pipe Roll of 1130, the first exchequer account to survive). He established peaceful relations with Scotland, through his marriage to Mathilda of Scotland.
Henry's name 'Beauclerc' denoted his good education (as the youngest son, his parents possibly expected that he would become a bishop); Henry was probably the first Norman king to be fluent in English. In 1120, his legitimate sons William and Richard drowned in the White Ship which sank in the English Channel. This posed a succession problem, as Henry never allowed any of his illegitimate children to expect succession to either England or Normandy. Henry had a legitimate daughter Matilda (widow of Emperor Henry V, subsequently married to the Count of Anjou). However, it was his nephew Stephen (reigned 1135-54), son of William the Conqueror's daughter Adela, who succeeded Henry after his death allegedly caused by eating too many lampreys (fish) in 1135, as the barons mostly opposed the idea of a female ruler.

Died:
Apparently died from over eating Lampreys, or of food poisoning.

Henry married Matilda Canmore Of Scotland on 11 Nov 1100 in Westminster Abbey, London, England. Matilda (daughter of Malcolm III Caennmor King Of Scotland and St. Margaret The Exile Of Wessex) was born in Oct 1079 in Dunfermline, Fifeshire, Scotland; died on 1 May 1118 in Westminster Palace, London, England.

WILLIAM de WARENNE was the second Earl of Warren and Surrey. In 1093 he sought to marry Mathilda (who eventually married King Henry I of England). This marriage may have been at the bottom of his hatred for Henry. In 1101 he shared in inviting Robert, Duke of Normandy, to invade England and because of this act, the king deprived him of his estates. Later Henry restored
