Granddaughter of William the Conqueror and of King Malcolm of the
Scots, and daughter of Henry I, Matilda fought for the throne of
England, arguably hers by right, for nine years, and was denied it
largely because she was a woman. Contemporary chroniclers said of
her that she was "always superior to feminine softness and with a
mind steeled and unbroken in adversity." Most of the serious work
on her extraordinary, action-packed life and historical importance
lies in untranslated German studies of the last century. In this
book Marjorie Chibnall examines her career as a whole, as King
Henry's daughter, as the wife and consort of Emperor Henry V, as
Countess of Anjou after the emperor's death, and as regent for her
son, Henry II. An outstanding biography, pieced together from
archival sources all over Europe, it is of value and interest both
to scholars and the general reader.
