Norman dynasty is the usual designation for the family that were the Dukes of Normandy and the English monarchs which immediately followed the Norman conquest and lasted until the Plantagenet dynasty came to power in 1154. It included Rollo and his descendants, and from William the Conqueror and his heirs down through 1135. After that it was disputed between William's grandchildren, Matilda and Stephen of the House of Blois (or Blesevin dynasty).

References and notes

1. ^ Matilda's inheritance was usurped by her cousin Stephen of England in 1135. She recovered Normandy, and ruled in England only in 1141 as Lady of the English. However, Matilda maintained her dynastic rights until she abdicated her rights in favor of her son Henry II of England in 1153 following the Treaty of Wallingford.
