A life of Matilda-empress, skilled military leader, and one of the
greatest figures of the English Middle Ages "[Matilda] will attract
a growing audience interested in stories of women challenging the
male-dominated European past."-Alexandra Locking, Medieval Review
"A lively and authoritative account."-Katherine Harvey, Times
Literary Supplement Matilda was a daughter, wife, and mother. But
she was also empress, heir to the English crown-the first woman
ever to hold the position-and an able military general. This new
biography explores Matilda's achievements as military and political
leader, and sets her life and career in full context. Catherine
Hanley provides fresh insight into Matilda's campaign to claim the
title of queen, her approach to allied kingdoms and rival rulers,
and her role in the succession crisis. Hanley highlights how
Matilda fought for the throne, and argues that although she never
sat on it herself her reward was to see her son become king.
Extraordinarily, her line has continued through every single
monarch of England or Britain from that time to the present day.
