Listen "Medieval Queens pt.1: Empress Matilda and Queen Eleanor"
Episode Synopsis
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. Eleanor of Aquitaine shared Matilda's spirit in protecting what was rightfully hers and made sure the world knew that she, and her family were a force to be reckoned with. Join us as we dive in to history and get to know Matilda, Eleanor, and the desire for power that connected them.
