The FORMIDABLE Wife Of William The Conqueror | Matilda of Flanders

A compilation of some of my older videos! Everyone knows the name William the Conqueror - but there is no way he would have invaded the places he did, built the castles he did, or become a king, without the aid of his wife, Matilda of Flanders. She was a powerhouse of a woman, politically minded, fiercely loyal and supportive of her husband, and a core part of the Norman invasion of England despite never holding a sword. These videos look at the life of Matilda, her impact, and her legacy....
