The Story of Matilda of Flanders: Queen and Conqueror
Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror, was renowned for her beauty and remarkable education. Admired for her intelligence, generosity, and deep piety, she exemplified the virtues of a queen consort.
Celebrated for her needlework, Matilda mastered skills esteemed among noblewomen. Her artistry attracted suitors from Europe's greatest princes, sharing this talent with her cousins.
Though much of her work hasn't survived, legend credits her with creating the Bayeux Tapestry, chronicling the Norman conquest of England. This masterpiece would honor her husband's triumph and her needlework prowess.
As Queen of England and Duchess of Normandy, Matilda was among Europe's most powerful women. She bore nine children, including future kings William II and Henry I. Her marriage to William was marked by deep affection and loyalty.
