He sided with Henry I his first cousin in 1104 against Robert II Curthose also his first cousin but in 1118, when William Clito who was the first son of Robert Duke of Normandy rebelled against his uncle Henry I of England, Stephen I supported him, with Baldwin VII of Flanders.[1] He finally submitted to his first cousin Henry I in 1119.[1]
