-The answer is quite specific, because the region that held out was rather small and remote, but you can start guessing centuries.do you want a general answer or is it more specific for the region?"The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Thanks MBD! I was a little unclear there.Originally posted by MBD
"The ship (The White ship) went under in bad weather in 1120 taking all the successors with them."
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.
The succession became a concern upon the death of his son William in 1120: Henry's marriage to Adelaide was fruitless, leaving his daughter Matilda as the only surviving legitimate heir. She was recalled to Henry's court in 1125 after the death of her husband, Emperor Henry V of Germany. Henry forced his barons to swear an oath of allegiance to Matilda in 1127 after he arranged her marriage to the sixteen-year-old Geoffrey of Anjou to cement an Angevin alliance on the continent. The marriage, unpopular with the Norman barons, produced a male heir in 1133, which prompted yet another reluctant oath of loyalty from the aggravated barons. In the summer of 1135, Geoffrey demanded custody of certain key Norman castles as a show of good will from Henry; Henry refused and the pair entered into war. Henry's life ended in this sorry state of affairs - war with his son-in-law and rebellion on the horizon - in December 1135.I love being beaten by women - LorizaelComment

You will find that this is actually a medieval question time-wise, it's just not really related to anything else medieval. Just think about places in the west roman empire and which way the barbarians were comming from, start guessing centuries, and it won't too hard to get close."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

[read the question properly, damn me]Last edited by Ignorance; July 1, 2002, 19:12."In some of its more lunatic aspects, political correctness is merely ridiculous. But in the thinking behind it, there is something more sinister which is shown by the fact that already there are certain areas and topics where freedom of speech, in the sense of the right to open and frank discussion, is being gradually but significantly eroded." -- Judge Neil DenisonComment

No. This reffers to areas that was held by Rome, which it later abandoned, but were retained by their pre-Roman population until much later than the fall of Rome itself."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Close as I think any will get:
