MATILDA of SCOTLAND (Pg
pg 1/2 Matilda of Scotland Born: 1069 Dunfermline, Scotland Married: King Henry I of England Died: 1 May 1118 Parents: Malcolm III of Scotland & Margaret Athling Matilda of Scotland[1] (born Edith; c. 1080 – 1 May 1118) was the first wife and queen consort of Henry I. Early life Matilda was born around 1080 in Dunfermline, the daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland and Saint Margaret. She was christened Edith, and Robert Curthose stood as godfather at her christening — the English queen Matilda of Flanders was also present at the font and may have been her godmother. When she was about six years old, Matilda and her sister Mary were sent to Romsey, where their aunt Cristina was abbess. During her stay at Romsey and Wilton, Matilda was much sought-after as a bride; she turned down proposals from both William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, and Alan Rufus, Lord of Richmond. Hermann of Tournai even claims that William II Rufus considered marrying her. She was out of the monastery by 1093, when Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote to the Bishop of Salisbury ordering that the daughter of the king of Scotland be returned to the monastery that she had left. Marriage After the death of William II Rufus in August 1100, his brother Henry quickly seized the royal treasury and the royal crown. His next task was to marry, and Henry's choice fell on Matilda. Because Matilda had spent most of her life in a nunnery, there was some controversy over whether or not she had been veiled as a nun and would thus be ineligible for marriage.

Despite this, no consensus has been reached among historians as to the reason for their continued use, with the notable exception of ensuring the production of a legitimate heir. This thesis will argue that the creation and maintenance of alliances was the most important motivating factor for English, Castilian and Aragonese monarchs. Territorial concerns, such as the protection and acquisition of lands, as well as attempts to secure peace between warring kingdoms, were also influential elements considered when arranging dynastic marriages. Other less common motives which were specific to individual marriages depended upon the political, economic, social and dynastic priorities of the time in which they were contracted.

By 1070 the Norman conquest of England was complete. In 1085 the Domesday Survey was begun and all England was recorded so William knew exactly what his new kingdom contained. William introduced the Continental system of feudalism; by the Oath of Salisbury of 1086 all landlords swore allegiance to William, thus establishing the precedent that a vassal's loyalty to the king overrode his fealty to his immediate lord. During a campaign against King Philip I of France, William fell from a horse and was fatally injured. William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy and Arletta, a tanner's daughter. He is sometimes called "William the Bastard".

She was incapable of exercising it. – Georges Duby, “Women and Power” With this statement, Georges Duby renders the medieval woman “powerless” to participate in any sort of governance in the Middle Ages. He and other scholars have perpetuated the idea that women who held landed titles in the Middle Ages relegated all power of that title to their husbands, including queens. Scholars have commonly assumed that the king, not the queen, was the only party able to wield significant authority in the governance of the country, and that men dominated the role of the queen in the political sphere. It is difficult to imagine how Duby and others reached his harsh conclusion about women and power in the Middle Ages once the ruling relationships between the kings and queens of twelfth-century England are examined.

The Geographic Origins of the Norman Conquerors of England
The Geographic Origins of the Norman Conquerors of England Christopher Macdonald Hewitt escended from Vikings, the Norman armies of the eleventh and twelfth centuries spread out from their home in Northern France on a quest to conquer and explore new lands beyond their duchy.1 The Dmost famous of these quests was the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. After many months of planning and preparation, this quest climaxed on Saturday, October 14, 1066 at the Battle of Hastings. Here, the Normans crushed the Anglo-Saxon rulers of England with the power and might of their knights. While much has been written about this epic battle, few studies have focused squarely on the importance of some of the more fundamental char- acteristics of the primary combatants themselves—the Norman knights. In an attempt to partially address this deficiency, this study focuses on one particular aspect of this armed cohort: its geographic origins. Following a discussion of Duke William’s leadership role and the Norman Army’s or- ganization at Hastings, the study moves to focus squarely on the as yet un- examined geographical allegiances of the Norman knights and how this might shed light on both the motivation of the combatants and their ulti- mate success in mobilizing the resources required to win at Hastings. Literature review There is no shortage of scholarly work chronicling key aspects of the Battle of Hastings. Temporally, these accounts range from the time of the battle itself until the modern era. One of the oldest and best-known sources is the Bayeux Tapestry. This account depicts the Conquest graphically from the Norman perspective,2 in the form of pictures or diagrams.3 It is be- lieved to have been funded by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, Duke William’s half brother.

A Study of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman Noble Women
DAUGHTERS, WIVES, AND WIDOWS: A STUDY OF ANGLO-SAXON AND ANGLO-NORMAN NOBLE WOMEN Paula J. Bailey, M.S.E. Candidate Mentor: Ann Smith, Ph.D., Professor of History Abstract Traditional medieval histories have tended to downplay the role of noble women in early medieval England. However, increasingly popular gender studies in the last twenty years have prompted a renewed interest by scholars eager to make up for lost time and assign women a more significant role. In light of these efforts, research now indicates Anglo-Saxon women not only had considerable independence regarding land ownership, but they could also dispose of property at will. By contrast, noble women of the Anglo-Norman period appeared, at first glance, not to have fared as well as their Anglo-Saxon predecessors. A closer study, however, reveals that these later women not only held their own honor courts, supervised households and educated their children, but, when the need arose, helped defend their homes. In the military- based society of Anglo-Norman England, noble women were also needed to produce legitimate heirs. Wives, daughters, and widows in the Anglo-Saxon and Norman English world were not on the fringes of society. Introduction Scholars interested in gender studies have made great progress over the last twenty years researching and writing about medieval English women. Traditional histories had, until recently, slighted noble women and their contributions to early Anglo-Saxon society with claims that they played only a nominal role. Historians now conclude that, to the contrary, Anglo-Saxon noble women were relatively independent through their land-holding rights while, by contrast, later Anglo-Norman noble women lost some independence when land ownership became closely associated with the new military-based society that followed the Norman Conquest in 1066.

No land has owed more than Eng- land to the personal action of men not of native birth. Britain was truly called another world, in opposition to the world of the European mainland, the world of Rome. In every age the history of Britain is the history of an island, of an island great enough to form a world of itself. In speaking of Celts or Teutons in Britain, we are speaking, not simply of Celts and Teutons, but of Celts and Teutons parted from their kinsfolk on the mainland, and brought under the common influences of an island world.
