Empress Matilda Aethelic England 
Matilda Aethelic was born in 1101 in London, Middlesex, England.1 Matilda Aethelic's father was King Henry I England and her mother was Princess Matilda Scotland. Her paternal grandparents were King William The Conqueror and Matilda de Flanders; her maternal grandparents were King Malcolm III Scotland and Queen Margaret Atheling Scotland. She had a sister named Elizabeth Princess of. She had five half-brothers and two half-sisters, named Robert, Henry, Reginald Dunstanville, Robert (FitzRoy), William, Constance and Matilda. She died at the age of 68 on September 10th, 1169 in Notre Dame, Rouen, Seine-Maritime, France.2 General Notes
After Geoffrey Plantagenet's death, Matilda was married to Henry VEmperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
Empress of Germany, Queen of England, Princess Royal of England, married at 12 years old: He nry V, German Roman Emperor, who died soon after.
MATILDA (1102-1167), empress, was the daughter of Henry I of England byhis first marriage. She was betrothed in 1109 and married in 1114 to theGerman emperor Henry V. When her husband died (1125) leaving herchildless, her father, whose only surviving legitimate child she thenwas, persuaded his reluctant barons to accept her, on oath, as hissuccessor (Jan. 1, 1127). The novel prospect of a female ruler was itselfunwelcome; Matilda's 17-year absence in Germany (where she was notunpopular) and her apparent arrogrance estranged her from her father'ssubjects. Difficulties also might result from her remarriage to providefor the succession. Her marriage in 1128 to Geoffrey Plantagenet, heir toAnjou and Maine (designed by Henry I, like her first marriage, forpolitical ends), whose father, CountFulk, departed immediately after theceremony to become the consort of Melisende of Jerusalem, flouted thebarons' stipulation that she should not marry outside England withouttheir consent, and was unpopular in Normandy and England. On Henry I'sdeath, his nephew Stephen by prompt action secured England and wasrecognized by Pope Innocent II. Matilda and Geoffrey, however, made someheadway in Normandy. Matilda's subsequent challenge to Stephen's positionin England mainly depended on the support of her half-brother Earl Robertof Gloucester. After the defeat and capture of Stephen at Lincoln (Feb.1141), Matilda was elected "lady of the English" and would have beenqueen could she have proceeded to coronation, but active support for hercause still came mainly from the western counties. Her chance ofconsolidating her precarious victory was swiftly destroyed by a reactioninitated by her tactless handling of London. After her defeat atWinchester in Sept. 1141, her supporters, slowly reduced by death anddefection, maintained a stubborn defense until Earl Robert died (1147)and Matilda retired (1148) to Normandy, of which her husband had gainedpossession. She continued to interest herself in the government of theterritories of her eldest son, the future Henry II of England. Her careerwas not entirely unsuccessful: all the subsequent monarchs of Englandhave been her descendants, not Stephen's. She died in Normandy on Sept.10, 1167.
