        Shall we get on with the next question. I would rather like to get to ask one myself before I go to sleep.

                  That would be cheating, now wouldn't it?

                  But most civil wars in those days were caused by some sort of battle over who would succeed the king. Hmm... Henry didn't happen to die childless, did he?

                      Damn... if only I had taken those 5 minutes to invent psychohistory and determine based on the events of the 700s-900s what would happen in the 1100s...

                          Victor, Yes, as a matter of fact he did... The ship (The White ship) went under in bad weather in 1120 taking all the successors with them.

                            Ah excellent. Now this question is meant not to be discovered with google (or I don't know I haven't tried yet).

                            As the Roman empire in the west fell, its control over several provinces passed back into the hands of those who held them before the Romans came in; however, later barbarians would overwhelm all of these. What was the leader or last region to be controlled by the original pre-Roman peoples who lived there and in what century was it lost to barbarians or the descendents thereof?

                              Just to clarify, I think it only took Henry's son. His daughter Mathilda was still alive, and she and her son fought King Stephen, Henry's nephew, for many years.

                                do you want a general answer or is it more specific for the region?
