The siege of Oxford took place during The Anarchy—a period of civil war following the death of Henry I of England without an heir—in 1142. Fought between his nephew, Stephen of Blois, and his daughter, the Empress Matilda (or Maud), who had recently been expelled from her base in Westminster and chosen the City of Oxford as her new headquarters. Oxford by now was effectively a regional capital and important in its own right. It was a well-defended city with both rivers and walls protecting it, and was also strategically important as it was at a crossroads between the north, south-east and west of England, and also not far from London.

  • Le siège d'Oxford a lieu durant l'Anarchie anglaise, une période de guerre civile ayant commencé après la mort sans héritier de Henri Ier Beauclerc, roi d'Angleterre, à la fin de l'année 1142. Il oppose son neveu, Étienne de Blois, et sa fille, Mathilde ou Maud, dite l'Emperesse, qui a récemment été chassée de sa forteresse à Westminster et a choisi Oxford pour installer son quartier général. Oxford est en effet devenue à cette époque une véritable capitale régionale ; c'est une ville bien défendue, protégée par une rivière et des remparts. C'est aussi une ville stratégique, du fait de sa position centrale entre le nord, l'ouest et le sud-est de l'Angleterre. (fr)
