A skilled warrior, successful reformer, and renowned hardass, Henry I bypassed his bastard sons for the throne (although he did give them quite important lands and titles, including the earldoms of Gloucester and Cornwall) in favor of his oldest legitimate daughter, Matilda, the former Empress of the Holy Roman Empire and wife of the count of Anjou.
Among those who lost their lives was William Adelin, the only surviving legitimate male heir of King Henry I of England, who, much like Westeros's Aegon IV, had been known for siring bastards on various mistresses, with as many as 24 illegitimate children known to us. The Anarchy began in an extremely Martin-esque scene of sudden horror and unintended consequences - the unexpected shipwreck of the White Ship, a royal vessel that sunk in the English Channel with all but two hands lost at sea.
