In OTL Henry II was the only son of Matilda and Geoffrey Plantagenet to not die young. His father Geoffrey V died from a fever, his brother Geoffrey died of unknown causes, his brother William died from "a broken heart" and his son died from a seizure. But what if Henry II also dies young? In 1153 Henry could've drowned at sea while sailing to England. So what if his ship sunk and he drowns?
1. Since Henry II being crowned in his mother's lifetime was a compromise by Stephen to make peace, would Matilda go back to pressing her own claim or would she support her grandson's claim?
2. Who would inherit Anjou? Henry's posthumous son or his brother Geoffrey?
2. Would Eleanor of Aquitaine remarry?
3. Would Stephen be succeeded by his son William?
4. If William I of Boulogne becomes King but still dies in 1159, who would succeed him?
3. Assuming William IX of Poitiers, Geoffrey of Nantes and William die on schedule would the House of Blois be able to rule uncontested?
