Sistory Untold

Medieval Queens pt.1: Empress Matilda and Queen Eleanor


Listen Later

Empress Matilda (Maud) was the daughter, wife, and mother of Henry, or so it goes on her epitaph. To us at Sistory Untold however, Matilda was much more than a relation to the powerful men in her life. She was a woman who would do almost anything to protect what was hers by birth right.
