The War of the Two Kings

The succession war after Julian II's death, when Stephen III was crowned at Westminster with dock and convoy backing and Robert II at Oxford Gate with Harcourt riders, elder Ashdown circles and St Albans chapter men. Both were anointed; sieges, bridge-burnings and requisitions divided the south.
