Empress Matilda of England

The Legendary Women of World History, Book 7

By: Laurel A. Rockefeller

Narrated by: Lewis McDonald

Born in 1102 to King Henry of England and Queen Matilda of Scotland, Matilda's uniquely royal Norman, Saxon, and Scottish heritage was meant to unify an England still divided by her grandfather's conquest in 1066. When the 1120 White Ship Disaster made her the only surviving child of her parents, Matilda suddenly became heiress to the English throne in a time when the old Saxon Witan, not the king's Will, still decided the succession.

Discover the true story of the first woman to claim the throne of England in her own right and be inspired!

I loved the narration!

I loved how every character sounded unique. The many languages lost me a bit. It might be good to translate just after for those who do not speak other languages
