- The following individuals were Earls (suo jure or jure uxoris) or Countesses (suo jure) during the reign of Stephen, King of England who reigned from 1135 to 1154. The period of tenure as Earl or Countess is given after the name and title of each individual, including any period of minority. King Stephen’s entitlement to the English throne was challenged by his first cousin, Empress Matilda, the daughter of Stephen’s predecessor King Henry I of England. The period of civil war in England from 1135 to 1153 became known as the Anarchy. Both Stephen and Matilda created new earldoms and invested earls during the Anarchy.
