SEASON 5: The Norman Conquest of England

EPISODE 77: The Ties That Bind

In light of the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II of England, we trace the remarkable lineage of Matilda of Flanders—from her pivotal role as Queen of England beside William the Conqueror to her far-off royal descendant, Queen Elizabeth II. What connects these two formidable women across nearly a thousand years? More than you might think. Join us as we uncover the legacy of one of medieval Europe’s most influential women.
