However, in 1100 Henry I, the new king of England, demanded her hand in marriage; and on 11 November 1100 at Westminster she became his queen. Upon her marriage she adopted the name Matilda in honour of the king's mother. They had two, possibly three children. Queen Matilda built a leper hospital at St. Giles-in-the-Fields, London, and founded the Augustinian Priory at Aldgate. She was aged only about thirty-eight when she died. Source: Leo van de Pas

Christened Edith, but at some point after her marriage was given the more acceptably Norman name of Matilda. Educated in England by her maternal aunt, Christina, abbess of Romsey, who wanted her to take the veil. Her father and brothers had marriage in mind for Edith, but since father and eldest brother were killed invading England, there was a delay. During this time Edith and her sisters were educated in Wilton Abbey in England, where Aunt Christina was now abbess. Anne Crawford writes: "They were not wasted years, for from her few surviving letters it is clear that Matilda displayed a scholarship rare among laymen, and quite exceptional among laywomen."

She brought her husband little in financial gain, her real dowry being her Saxon heritage, which assured Henry of the goodwill of his Saxon subjects. "Her piety and good works earned Matilda the epithet, the 'good queen', and she became the standard by whom all subsequent medieval queens were judged and most were found wanting. Her piety was almost as deep as her saintly mother; she went every day to Westminster Abbey, barefoot in Lent, wearing a hair shirt, uncommon behaviour in a queen. She went further, personally caring for lepers, for whom she built a hospital in St. Giles in the Fields."

Her patronage had a lasting influence on England, including road improvements, the first arched bridge in England (over the River Lea) and other bridges and mills that were used into the nineteenth century. "Little information on the administration of her estates survives, save a complaint that her bailiffs fleeced her tenants to provide the wherewithal for her good works."

"After the birth of her surviving son, William, in 1103 (her firstborn died as an infant), Matilda settled mainly at Westminster. She seems to have visited Normandy only once. Whatever their personal relationship, Henry certainly respected her judgement, and during his absences abroad she was usually appointed regent in his place."

Her husband and son were in Normandy when she died in 1118. Her daughter, Matilda, had been sent at age eight, as a bride to Emperor Henry V.

"The chronicler, Robert of Gloucester, repeatedly ascribes to Queen Matilda a direct, personal and highly beneficial influence on the condition of England during the years of her marriage, declaring that 'the goodness she did to England cannot be here written nor by any man understood' "

She maintained a correspondence with Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, during the investiture dispute between Anselm and Henry, and may have been an influence on the compromise reached in 1107. Here is a line from a letter she wrote to Anselm c. 1103: "The clouds of sadness in which I was wrapped being expelled, the streamlet of your words has glided through me like a ray of new light."

Basic Life Information

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 and Children

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. Henry sought permission for the marriage from Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, who returned to England in September 1100 after a long exile. Professing himself unwilling to decide so weighty a matter on his own, Anselm called a council of bishops in order to determine the legality of the proposed marriage. Matilda testified to the archbishop and the assembled bishops of the realm that she had never taken holy vows. She insisted that her parents had sent her and her sister to England for educational purposes, and that her aunt Cristina had veiled her only to protect her "from the lust of the Normans." Matilda claimed she had pulled the veil off and stamped on it, and her aunt beat and scolded her most horribly for this. The council concluded that Matilda had never been a nun, nor had her parents intended that she become one, and gave his permission for the marriage.

Matilda and Henry seem to have known one another for some time before their marriage - William of Malmesbury states that Henry had "long been attached" to her, and Orderic Vitalis says that Henry had "long adored" Edith's character. Through her mother she was descended from Edmund Ironside and thus Alfred the Great and the old line of the kings of Wessex; this was very important as Henry wanted to help make himself more popular with the English people and Matilda represented the old English dynasty. In their children the Norman and Anglo-Saxon dynasties would be united. Another benefit of the marriage was that England and Scotland became politically closer; three of her brothers served as kings of Scotland and were unusually loyal to England during this period.

Matilda and Henry had two children:

Empress Matilda, born February 1102, Holy Roman Empress consort, Countess consort of Anjou, called Lady of the English
William Adelin, born 1103, sometimes called Duke of Normandy

Queen

After Matilda and Henry were married on 11 November 1100 at Westminster Abbey by Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, she was crowned as "Matilda", a fashionable Norman name. She gave birth to a daughter, Matilda, in February 1102, and a son, William, in November 1103. As queen, she maintained her court primarily at Westminster, but accompanied her husband in his travels all across England, and, circa 1106-1107, probably visited Normandy with him. She also served in a vice-regal capacity when Henry was away from court. Her court was filled with musicians and poets; she commissioned a monk, probably Thurgot, to write a biography of her mother, Saint Margaret. She was an active queen, and like her mother was renowned for her devotion to religion and the poor. William of Malmesbury describes her as attending church barefoot at Lent, and washing the feet and kissing the hands of the sick. She also administered extensive dower properties and was known as a patron of the arts, especially music.

Death

After Matilda died on 1 May 1118 at Westminster Palace, she was buried at Westminster Abbey. She was remembered by her subjects as "Matilda the Good Queen" and "Matilda of Blessed Memory", and for a time sainthood was sought for her, though she was never canonised.

The death of her only son and Henry's failure to produce a legitimate son from his second marriage led to the succession crisis of The Anarchy.

Notes

She is known to have been given the name "Edith" (the Anglo-Saxon Eadgyth, meaning "Fortune-Battle") at birth, and was baptised under that name. She is known to have been crowned under a name favoured by the Normans, "Matilda" (from the Germanic Mahthilda, meaning "Might-Battle"), and was referred to as such throughout her husband's reign. It is unclear, however, when her name was changed, or why. Accordingly, her later name is used in this article. Historians generally refer to her as "Matilda of Scotland"; in popular usage, she is referred to equally as "Matilda" or "Edith".

She was undoubtedly one of the busiest queens England ever had. Inaddition
to the supervision of the royal household and the part she played in the
councils of the King (she must have been consulted continually, for her
signature appears on more writs even that that of Eudes, the sewer), shewas
left with state responsibilities for many long stretches when Henrycrossed
the Channel to fight a never-ending series of wars with his brotherRobert of
Normandy and the French King. She was as pious as her sainted mother had
been, spending much time at her prayers and going each day in Lent to
Westminster Abbey with bare feet and dress of the coarsest haircloth topary
and wash the feet of the poor. And of course she brought severalchildren
into the world. ... She was fond of dress, as all beautiful women are,and
was responsible for many innovations, as is always true of queens,beautiful
or not ... She was one of the first, if not the first, to wear the full
circular skirt which fell to the feet in volumninous folds, and to makeuse of
cords and tassels under the cloak to hold that necessary article in place...
lacing went out completely, and loose-fitting bodices came back intofavor at
court. ... It is recorded that Queen Matilda had a pleasant voice andthat she
encouraged the visits of minstrels and poets at court. Henry was fond ofthem
also. It is certian, however, that in his absence many a gallant waxed
unusually eloquent as he sought to please with his sirventes the queenwhose
delicate features reflected none of the coarseness of the Saxon face.It is
even more certain, however, that her interest was confined to the qualityof
the voices and the poetic merit of the lines and never in the singers
themselves. Matilda was a good wife as well as a queen above reproach.-
The Conquerors,Thomas B. Costain, p. 54
Before marrying the king, the princess made a stiupulation. Before shewould
leave the nunnery, he must sign a charter which Englishmen had beenparying
for, a guarantee of the rights of indivuals and a promise to relinquishsome
at least of the dictatorial practices of his father and borhter; inother
words, a return to constitutional rule as understood in the time ofEdward the
Confessor. Henry agreed and the Charter was duly signed. It was a great
historic document .. The Charter of Henry I was the forerunner of MagnaCharta
and as such should be ranked high among the historic documents of alltime. -

[1] The Oxford Illustrated History of the British Monarchy by Cannon &Griffith
[2] The Noble Lineage of the Delaware West Family by Anne Fox, 1958

Queen of England

Christened Edith, but adopted the name Matilda upon her marriage to Henry I. It was thought the Norman barons might not respect a queen with a Saxon name. The marriage to Henry represented the union of the Norman & Saxon royal lines.

--------------------------

The following information was provided in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX):

name at birth Eadgyth, changed to Mathilda in England [Ref: DeVajay p85]

Matilda of Scotland (d. 1118). Queen consort of Henry I from 1100; daughter of Malcolm III of Scots and granddaughter of Edmund Ironside. Known as Good Queen Maud, she was a strong supporter of Archbishop Anselm and the church. [Ref: Dict of Brit History p237]

Edith Matilda 'Atheling', Princess of SCOTLAND. Born about 1079/1080 Dunfermline, Fifeshire, Scotland. Died 1 May 1118 Westminster, Middlesex, England. Buried Jun 1118 Church of St Peter, Westminster, Middlesex, England. To please the English subjects of her husband, the king, she changed her Saxon name of Edith to the Norman name of Matilda. She is also known by the diminutive of that name - Maud (which had been the name of Henry's mother). She was the sister of Edgar, King of Scotland 1098-1107. [Ref: Unk]

Edith - Margaret (Matilda) of Scotland, born in 1080 and died in 1118, married Henry I. Beauclerc, King of England, son of William I The Conqueror (ruler from 1066 to 1087) and his wife, Matilda of Flanders, who died in 1083... Matilda was educated at Wilton and Romsey Abbey where she said that her aunt, Christina, forced her to wear a black veil. She threw it on the ground whenever left alone, in spite of beatings. When her mother died she came to England to Edgar Atheling, her uncle. She was a sister of King David of Scotland; she was a correspondent of Anselm and Hildebert, Bishop of Le Mans, who wrote poetry about her. She was a symbol of the union of Saxon and Norman. She was Henry's Queen for seventeen years and six months, and died in her prime like most of her family. Henry and Matilda had a son and a daughter... [Ref: McBride2]

Matilda (Edith) of Scotland (1079-1118) daughter of Malcolm III Canmore, King of Scots 1058-1093 and St. Margaret of Wessex. Born 1079 Dunfermline. Died 1 May 1118 Westminster Palace. Married 11 November 1100 Westminster Abbey Henry I, King of England 1100-1135. Born 1068 Selby, Yorkshire. Died 1 December 1135 St.Denis-le-Fermont, nr Rouen.

She was born in 1079 or 1080 and, as she was destined to become a nun, she went to Romsey where her Aunt Christina was the Abbess. However, in 1100 Henry I, the new king of England, demanded her hand in marriage; and on 11 November 1100 at Westminster she became his queen. Upon her marriage she adopted the name Matilda in honour of the king's mother. They had two, possibly three children. Queen Matilda built a leper hospital at St. Giles-in-the-Fields, London, and founded the Augustinian Priory at Aldgate. She was aged only about thirty-eight when she died. [Ref: Leo van de Pas]

Curt

She was undoubtedly one of the busiest queens England ever had. In addition
to the supervision of the royal household and the part she played in the
councils of the King (she must have been consulted continually, for her
signature appears on more writs even that that of Eudes, the sewer), she was
left with state responsibilities for many long stretches when Henry crossed
the Channel to fight a never-ending series of wars with his brother Robert of
Normandy and the French King. She was as pious as her sainted mother had
been, spending much time at her prayers and going each day in Lent to
Westminster Abbey with bare feet and dress of the coarsest haircloth to pary
and wash the feet of the poor. And of course she brought several children
into the world. ... She was fond of dress, as all beautiful women are, and
was responsible for many innovations, as is always true of queens, beautiful
or not ... She was one of the first, if not the first, to wear the full
circular skirt which fell to the feet in volumninous folds, and to make use of
cords and tassels under the cloak to hold that necessary article in place ...
lacing went out completely, and loose-fitting bodices came back into favor at
court. ... It is recorded that Queen Matilda had a pleasant voice and that she
encouraged the visits of minstrels and poets at court. Henry was fond of them
also. It is certian, however, that in his absence many a gallant waxed
unusually eloquent as he sought to please with his sirventes the queen whose
delicate features reflected none of the coarseness of the Saxon face. It is
even more certain, however, that her interest was confined to the quality of
the voices and the poetic merit of the lines and never in the singers
themselves. Matilda was a good wife as well as a queen above reproach. -
The Conquerors,Thomas B. Costain, p. 54
Before marrying the king, the princess made a stiupulation. Before she would
leave the nunnery, he must sign a charter which Englishmen had been parying
for, a guarantee of the rights of indivuals and a promise to relinquish some
at least of the dictatorial practices of his father and borhter; in other
words, a return to constitutional rule as understood in the time of Edward the
Confessor. Henry agreed and the Charter was duly signed. It was a great
historic document .. The Charter of Henry I was the forerunner of Magna Charta
and as such should be ranked high among the historic documents of all time. -

It is reported that Matilda's godfather was Robert Curthose. Matilda' s royal lineage went back for centuries and included fourteen kings fr om Egbert of Wessex to King Edward. Through her mother she was a memb er of the West Saxon Royal line. Matilda spent about 6 to 7 years of her youth at Ramsey in Cambridgeshire (or hampshire), under the care o f her aunt Catherine who had become a nun in 1086. In 1093, Matilda m oved to Wilton Abbey near Salisbury in Wiltshire. She developed a gre at devotion to the poor. It is said at the time of their wedding, Hen ry and Matilda were very much in love. She is styled as either politi c or indifferent enough not to resent her husband's mistresses and num erous illegitimate children. She became pregnant soon after the marri age in November of 1100, but the child was stillborn. Between 1107 - 1108, Matilda utilized some of the income from her London estates and founded a large Augustinian priory with the walls of Holy Trinity Aldg ate with the counsel and advice of Anselm.

Matilda of Scotland[1] (born Edith; c. 1080 - 1 May 1118) was the first wife and queen consort of Henry I of England .
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 (or Edith as she was then probably still called) and her sister Mary were sent to Romsey , where their aunt Cristina was abbess. During her stay at Romsey and Wilton , The Scottish princess 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.
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. Henry sought permission for the marriage from Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury , who returned to England in September 1100 after a long exile. Professing himself unwilling to decide so weighty a matter on his own, Anselm called a council of bishops in order to determine the legality of the proposed marriage. Matilda testified to the archbishop and the assembled bishops of the realm that she had never taken holy vows. She insisted that her parents had sent her and her sister to England for educational purposes, and that her aunt Cristina had veiled her only to protect her "from the lust of the Normans ." Matilda claimed she had pulled the veil off and stamped on it, and her aunt beat and scolded her most horribly for this. The council concluded that Matilda had never been a nun, nor had her parents intended that she become one, and gave their permission for the marriage.
Matilda and Henry seem to have known one another for some time before their marriage - William of Malmesbury states that Henry had "long been attached" to her, and Orderic Vitalis says that Henry had "long adored" Edith's character. Her mother was the sister of Edgar the Ætheling , the proclaimed but never crowned Saxon King of England after Harald, and through her Matilda was also descended from Edmund Ironside and thus Alfred the Great and the old line of the kings of Wessex; this was very important as Henry wanted to help make himself more popular with the English people and Matilda represented the old English dynasty. In their children the Norman and Anglo-Saxon dynasties would be united. Another benefit of the marriage was that England and Scotland became politically closer; three of her brothers served as kings of Scotland and were unusually friendly to England during this period.
After Matilda and Henry were married on 11 November 1100 at Westminster Abbey by Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury , she was crowned as "Matilda", a fashionable Norman name. She gave birth to a daughter, Matilda, in February 1102, and a son, William, in November 1103. As queen, she maintained her court primarily at Westminster , but accompanied her husband in his travels all across England, and, circa 1106-1107, probably visited Normandy with him. She also served in a vice-regal capacity when Henry was away from court. Her court was filled with musicians and poets; she commissioned a monk, probably Thurgot , to write a biography of her mother, Saint Margaret . She was an active queen, and like her mother was renowned for her devotion to religion and the poor. William of Malmesbury describes her as attending church barefoot at Lent , and washing the feet and kissing the hands of the sick. She also administered extensive dower properties and was known as a patron of the arts, especially music.
After Matilda died on 1 May 1118 at Westminster Palace , she was buried at Westminster Abbey . The death of her only son and Henry's failure to produce a legitimate son from his second marriage led to the succession crisis of The Anarchy .
After her death, she was remembered by her subjects as "Matilda the Good Queen" and "Matilda of Blessed Memory", and for a time sainthood was sought for her, though she was never canonised.
Matilda and Henry had two children:
Matilda of England , born February 1102, Holy Roman Empress consort , Countess consort of Anjou , called Lady of the English
William Adelin , born 1103, sometimes called Duke of Normandy
She is known to have been given the name "Edith" (the Old English Eadgyth, meaning "Fortune-Battle") at birth, and was baptised under that name. She is known to have been crowned under a name favoured by the Normans, "Matilda" (from the Germanic Mahthilda, meaning "Might-Battle"), and was referred to as such throughout her husband's reign. It is unclear, however, when her name was changed, or why. Accordingly, her later name is used in this article. Historians generally refer to her as "Matilda of Scotland"; in popular usage, she is referred to equally as "Matilda" or "Edith".

Florence of Worcester records the marriage of King Henry and "regis Scottorum Malcolmi et Margaretæ reginæ filiam Mahtildem" and her coronation as queen in a passage dealing with events in late 1100[331]. She adopted the name MATILDA on her marriage. Crowned Queen Consort of England 11 or 14 Nov 1100.

The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "Kal Mai" of "Matildis Anglorum regina"[332]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death "Kal Mai " at Westminster of "Mahthildis regina Anglorum", and her burial at Westminster Abbey[333].

Her parents:

MALCOLM, son of DUNCAN II King of Scotland & his wife [Sibylla of Northumbria] (1031-killed in battle near Alnwick, Northumberland 13 Nov 1093[241], bur Tynemouth St Albans[242], transferred to Dunfermline Abbey, Fife[243], transferred again to Escorial, Madrid). The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum names "Malcolaim filii Donnchada" in one of its lists[244]. The Chronicon of Mariano Scotti records that "Moelcol…filius Donchael" succeeded Lulach in 1058[245]. The Annales Dunelmenses record that "Siwardus" put "Macbeth" to flight in 1054 and installed "Malcolmum rege" in the following year[246]. The Annals of Tigernach record that “Lulach rí Alban” was killed by “Mael-Coluimb, son of Donnchad” in 1058[247]. The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that Malcolm recaptured his kingdom with the help of "Siward Earl of Northumberland" and killed "Machabeus" 5 Dec 1056[248]. He succeeded in 1058 as MALCOLM III "Caennmor/Bighead" King of Scotland, crowned 25 Apr 1058 at Scone Abbey, Perthshire. Duncan cites sources which demonstrate that this nickname was first applied to King Malcolm III in the 13th century[249]. He suggests[250] that it was originally applied to King Malcolm IV who, he asserts, suffered from Paget's disease, involving a deformation of the bones particularly observable in the skull, and was later misapplied to King Malcolm III. King Malcolm supported the claim to the English crown of Edgar ætheling, whose sister he had married, and led plundering raids into England. Florence of Worcester records that he did homage to William I King of England at Abernethy in Aug 1072[251]. The same source records that King Malcolm invaded Northumberland in 1091, but did fealty to Willam II King of England after peace was negotiated between the two kings[252]. Florence of Worcester records that "rex Scottorum Malcolmus et primogenitus filius suus Eadwardus" were killed in battle in Northumbria "die S Bricii" [13 Nov] by the army of "Rotberti Northymbrorum comitis"[253]. William of Malmesbury records that he was killed, with his son Edward, by Morael of Bamborough, steward of Robert Mowbray Earl of Northumberland, while leading a raid into England[254]. The Annals of Ulster record that "Mael Coluim son of Donnchad, over-king of Scotland, and Edward his son, were killed by the French in Inber Alda in England"[255].

[m] [firstly] ([before 1058]) ---. The identity of the mother of King Malcolm's sons Duncan and Donald is uncertain. The absence of any reference to her in Scottish sources is best explained if her relationship with the king ended before his accession in 1058. However, this is not totally consistent with the estimated birth dates of her sons as shown below. It should be noted that King Duncan II, in his charter dated 1093, makes no reference to his mother, which implies that his father's relationship with her may have been short-lived and informal. Orkneyinga Saga records that “Ingibjorg the Earls´-Mother” (Ingibjörg Finnsdatter, widow of Thorfinn "the Black" Jarl of Orkney and Caithness, daughter of Finn Arnisson [later Jarl of Halland in Denmark]) married “Malcolm King of Scots, known as Long-neck” and that “their son was Duncan, King of Scots, father of William”[256]. There must be considerable doubt about whether this can be correct. Ingibjörg's [first] husband died in [1060/65]. King Malcolm's marriage to Queen Margaret is dated to 1070, three years after her arrival at the Scottish court. Although this provides sufficient time after the death of her first husband for the king to have married Ingebjörg, and for Ingebjörg to have died, the chronology for the birth of two sons would be tight. In addition, it is unlikely that either of these sons was born after [1065], as explained in the document SCOTLAND. If the king had really married Ingibjörg during this time, and if she had given birth to two sons, the absence of any reference to her in either Scottish or English sources is all the more surprising. It is possible that King Malcolm's marriage to Ingibjörg (if it did take place) was more Danico, implying concubinage rather than regular marriage, but this does not change the chronological difficulties. The one puzzle which remains, if the Saga is not correct, is why the author would have fabricated this detail.

m [secondly] (Dunfermline Abbey 1070) MARGARET of England, daughter of EDWARD ætheling of England & his wife Agatha --- ([in Hungary] [1046/53]-Edinburgh Castle 16 Nov 1093, bur Dunfermline Abbey, Fife, transferred to Escorial, Madrid, her head bur Jesuit College, Douai). Although Margaret's birth is often placed in [1045/46][257], a later birth would be more consistent with the "German" theory of her mother's origin (as discussed in ANGLO-SAXON KINGS). Margaret's birth as late as 1053 would still be consistent with her having given birth to four children before her daughter Edith/Matilda (later wife of Henry I King of England), whose birth is estimated to have taken place in [1079/80]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Margaret left England with her mother in Summer 1067 and found refuge at the court of Malcolm King of Scotland[258]. Florence of Worcester records that "clitone Eadgaro et matre sua Agatha duabusque sororibus suis Margareta et Christina" left England for Scotland, in a passage which deals with events in mid-1068[259]. Florence of Worcester records that "regina Scottorum Margareta" died from grief after learning of the death of her husband and oldest son[260]. The Annals of Ulster record that "his queen Margaret…died of sorrow for him within nine days" after her husband was killed in battle[261]. She was canonised in 1250, her feast day in Scotland is 16 Nov[262].

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 (or Edith as she was then probably still called) and her sister Mary were sent to Romsey, where their aunt Cristina was abbess. During her stay at Romsey and Wilton, The Scottish princess 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. Henry sought permission for the marriage from Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, who returned to England in September 1100 after a long exile. Professing himself unwilling to decide so weighty a matter on his own, Anselm called a council of bishops in order to determine the legality of the proposed marriage. Matilda testified to the archbishop and the assembled bishops of the realm that she had never taken holy vows. She insisted that her parents had sent her and her sister to England for educational purposes, and that her aunt Cristina had veiled her only to protect her "from the lust of the Normans." Matilda claimed she had pulled the veil off and stamped on it, and her aunt beat and scolded her most horribly for this. The council concluded that Matilda had never been a nun, nor had her parents intended that she become one, and gave their permission for the marriage.

William of Malmesbury describes her as attending church barefoot at Lent, and washing the feet and kissing the hands of the sick. She also administered extensive dower properties and was known as a patron of the arts, especially music.

'''Later life'''

After Matilda died on 1 May 1118 at Westminster Palace, she was buried at Westminster Abbey. The death of her only son and Henry's failure to produce a legitimate son from his second marriage led to the succession crisis of The Anarchy.

After her death, she was remembered by her subjects as "Matilda the Good Queen" and "Matilda of Blessed Memory", and for a time sainthood was sought for her, though she was never canonised.

Matilda (var. Edith) OF SCOTLAND

[*Dunfermline, Scotland: c. 1080 - † Westminster Palace: 01.05.1118]

Primera esposa y Reina consorte (desde el 11.11.1100 hasta su muerte) del rey Henry I of England, era descendiente de la casa escocesa de Dunkeld al ser la segunda hija del rey Malcolm III Canmore of Scotland y de su esposa, Santa Margaret Ætheling of Scotland.

Habría nacido alrededor del año 1080 en la localidad escocesa de Dunfermline [gaélico escocés: Dùn Phàrlain], Fife. Allí, al parecer, se realiza su bautismo católico, recibiendo el nombre de Edith (del anglosajón EADGYTH, que significa "Fortuna-Batalla") . Fue su padrino el duque y pretendiente del trono inglés, Robert II Curthose de Normandie, hijo mayor de Guillermo el conquistador. Aparentemente, la madre de Robert Curthose, la reina Matilda de Flandes, sería su madrina.

A los 6 años de edad (1086), ella y su hermana María fueron enviadas al monasterio de Ramsey, donde fueron educadas por su tía materna, Cristina Ætheling, que era la abadesa de ese lugar. Durante su estadía en el monasterio recibió las ofertas de matrimonio Guillermo de Warenne, 2do conde de Surrey, y de Alan Rufus, señor de Richmond, pero rechaza ambas peticiones. Hermann de Tournai agrega a la lista de pretendientes al propio William II Rufus of England, tercer hijo de Guillermo el conquistador.

Edith deja el monasterio antes de 1093, cuando Anselm, arzobispo de Canterbury, escribió al obispo de Salisbury pidiendo que la hija del rey de Escocia vuelva al monasterio.

Con la muerte de William II Rufus, en agosto de 1100, su hermano Henry asciende al trono inglés y encuentra en Edith la candidata ideal para ser su reina, esto, por ser descendiente, por línea materna, de Edmund Ironside, Alfred the Great y de toda la línea de los antiguos reyes anglo-sajones de Inglaterra (reyes de Wessex); así, los eventuales hijos de esta unión tendrían en sus venas sangre normanda y anglo-sajona, con lo que se unificarían ambos linajes. Otra ventaja de esta unión era el lograr la cercanía política entre Escocia e Inglaterra, situación que se instauraría, inusualmente, durante este periodo

Como Edith había pasado la mayor parte de su vida en un convento, se levanta la controversia de si había o no profesado como monja, cuestión que la invalidaría para la realización de la unión matrimonial. Henry buscó en el arzobispo Anselm de Canterbury la aprobación para el matrimonio, pero éste se declara poco dispuesto a decidir en tan pesada decisión, por lo que llamó a un consejo de obispos para determinar la legalidad de la unión propuesta. Edith atestiguó ante el arzobispo y a los obispos del reino, expresando que ella nunca había tomado los santos votos e insistiendo en que ella y su hermana habían sido enviadas a Ramsey por propósitos educativos, y que su tía Cristina Ætheling había accedido a ello para proteger a sus parientas "de la lujuria de los normandos". Además, agregó que si en algún momento llegó a usar el velo, fue por orden de su tía Cristina, pero de inmediato lo rechazó y arrojó al piso, siendo fuertemente reprendida por su la abadesa. El consejo reunido concluyó finalmente que Matilda nunca había sido monja y que sus padres nunca pensaron en que ella tomara los votos, por lo tanto, Anselm de Canterbury dio su permiso para la unión.

Se especula que Edith y Henry se conocían antes de estos eventos. Esto, ya que William of Malmesbury expresa que Henry “estaba hace mucho tiempo ligado“ a ella. Orderic Vitalis agrega que Henry “adoraba” grandemente la persona de Edith.

Henry I y Edith se casaron en la abadía de Westminster, el 11 de noviembre de 1100, siendo el arzobispo Anselmo el que efectúa el enlace. Posteriormente Edith es coronada reina de Inglaterra con el nombre normando de Matilde.

Acompaña a su esposo en su recorrido por toda Inglaterra, entre 1106 y 1107, y también visita con él su ducado de Normandía.

Se cuenta que su corte, establecida en Westminster, estuvo rodeada de poetas y músicos, por lo que era conocida como patrona de las artes, especialmente de la música. Su popularidad se acrecentó, además, porque ella era una reina muy activa y una ferviente católica, como su madre, inclinándose por ello a ayudar a los más necesitados. El cronista Guillermo de Malmesbury la describe lavando los pies de los menesterosos y besando las manos de los enfermos en la iglesia de Lent.

En esa línea, la reina Matilda encarga a un monje, posiblemente a Turgot, que escriba una biografía de su madre, Santa Margarita.

Murió en el palacio de Westminster, el 1 de mayo de 1118, a los 38 años de edad, siendo sepultada en la abadía de igual nombre. Después de su muerte, es recordada con apelativos como "Matilde la Buena Reina" (Matilda the Good Queen) o "Matilde de Bendita Memoria" (Matilda of Blessed Memory). Por un tiempo se buscó que la iglesia la santificara, pero nunca se logró su canonización.

Matilda y Henry tuvieron dos hijos:

1. Matilda OF ENGLAND [* 02.1102], Emperatriz consorte del Screo Impreio Romano-Germánico, Condesa consorte de Anjou; llamada “la señora de los Ingleses”.

2. William Adelin [* 1103], a veces es nombrado como Duque de Normandía. Su muerte temprana y la imposibilidad de su padre de tener herederos de su segundo matrimonio, hunde a Inglaterra en un angustioso periodo de anarquía política en busca de la sucesión dinástica.

>>The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum names "Malcolaim filii Donnchada" in one of its lists[307]. The Chronicon of Marianus Scottus records that "Moelcol…filius Donchael" succeeded Lulach in 1058[308]. [Florence of Worcester records that "dux Northhymbrorum Siwardus" defeated "rege Scottorum Macbeotha" in battle, dated to 1054, and installed "Malcolmum regis Cumbrorum filium" in his place[309]. The Annales Dunelmenses record that "Siwardus" put "Macbeth" to flight in 1054 and installed "Malcolmum rege" in the following year[310]. It is not clear that these two accounts refer to the future King Malcolm III: it is uncertain why King Malcolm would be called "regis Cumbrorum filium".] The Annals of Tigernach record that “Lulach rí Alban” was killed by “Mael-Coluimb, son of Donnchad” in 1058[311]. The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that Malcolm recaptured his kingdom with the help of "Siward Earl of Northumberland" and killed "Machabeus" 5 Dec 1056[312]. He succeeded in 1058 as MALCOLM III "Caennmor/Bighead" King of Scotland, crowned 25 Apr 1058 at Scone Abbey, Perthshire. Duncan cites sources which demonstrate that this nickname was first applied to King Malcolm III in the 13th century[313]. He suggests[314] that it was originally applied to King Malcolm IV who, he asserts, suffered from Paget's disease, involving a deformation of the bones particularly observable in the skull, and was later misapplied to King Malcolm III. King Malcolm supported the claim to the English crown of Edgar ætheling, whose sister he had married, and led plundering raids into England. Florence of Worcester records that he did homage to William I King of England at Abernethy in Aug 1072[315]. The same source records that King Malcolm invaded Northumberland in 1091, but did fealty to Willam II King of England after peace was negotiated between the two kings[316]. Florence of Worcester records that "rex Scottorum Malcolmus et primogenitus filius suus Eadwardus" were killed in battle in Northumbria "die S Bricii" [13 Nov] by the army of "Rotberti Northymbrorum comitis"[317]. William of Malmesbury records that he was killed, with his son Edward, by Morael of Bamborough, steward of Robert Mowbray Earl of Northumberland, while leading a raid into England[318]. The Annals of Ulster record that "Mael Coluim son of Donnchad, over-king of Scotland, and Edward his son, were killed by the French in Inber Alda in England"[319].

>>[m] [firstly] ([before 1058]) '''[http://www.geni.com/people/Ingibj%C3%B6rg-Finnsd%C3%B3ttir/6000000001052011900 Ingiborg]'''. The identity of the mother of King Malcolm's sons Duncan and Donald is uncertain. The absence of any reference to her in Scottish sources is best explained if her relationship with the king ended before his accession in 1058. However, this is not totally consistent with the estimated birth dates of her sons as shown below. It should be noted that King Duncan II, in his charter dated 1093, makes no reference to his mother, which implies that his father's relationship with her may have been short-lived and informal. Orkneyinga Saga records that “Ingibjorg the Earls´-Mother” (Ingibjörg Finnsdatter, widow of Thorfinn "the Black" Jarl of Orkney and Caithness, daughter of Finn Arnisson [later Jarl of Halland in Denmark]) married “Malcolm King of Scots, known as Long-neck” and that “their son was Duncan, King of Scots, father of William”[320]. There must be considerable doubt about whether this can be correct. Ingibjörg's [first] husband died in [1060/65]. King Malcolm's marriage to Queen Margaret is dated to 1070, three years after her arrival at the Scottish court. Although this provides sufficient time after the death of her first husband for the king to have married Ingebjörg, and for Ingebjörg to have died, the chronology for the birth of two sons would be tight. In addition, it is unlikely that either of these sons was born after [1065], as explained further below. If the king had really married Ingibjörg during this time, and if she had given birth to two sons, the absence of any reference to her in either Scottish or English sources is all the more surprising. It is possible that King Malcolm's marriage to Ingibjörg (if it did take place) was more Danico, implying concubinage rather than regular marriage, but this does not change the chronological difficulties. The one puzzle which remains, if the Saga is not correct, is why the author would have fabricated this detail. [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTLAND.htm#MalcolmIIIdied1093B Cawley’s Medlands]

>>King Malcolm III & Ingiborg had two children:

>>>1. '''[http://www.geni.com/people/Donnchad-mac-Ma%C3%ADl-Coluim/6000000003999583795 DUNCAN] ([1060/65]-murdered Monthechim/Mondynes, Kincardineshire 12 Nov 1094, bur Dunfermline Abbey, Fife).''' William of Malmesbury names Duncan as illegitimate son of King Malcolm, when recording that he was knighted by William II King of England[327]. There is no indication of the identity of Duncan's mother, as explained above. His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was a child when given as a hostage in 1072, which precludes his being the son of Queen Margaret. It is possible that he was illegitimate, although there is no indication that he was thereby excluded from succession to the throne. "Dunecanus fili regii Malcolum constans hereditarie rex Scotie" donated property to the monks of St Cuthbert for the souls of his father, "fratri mei, uxore mea et infans mei" (all unnamed), by charter dated 1093, witnessed by "Eadgari, [Etheread], Aceard, Ulf, Malcolub[328], Hormer, Heming, Ælfric, Teodbold, Earnulf"[329]. The copy in Early Scottish Charters lists the witnesses in a different order, and adds "Grentonis…Vinget"[330]. He was given as a hostage to William I King of England at Abernethy in 1072 to guarantee his father's good behaviour[331]. The Annals of Ulster record that the "French went into Scotland and brought away the son of the king of Scotland as hostage" in 1072[332], which presumably refers to Duncan as any of his half-brothers (if then born) would have been infants at the time. He was kept in Normandy. Florence of Worcester records that Robert III "Curthose" Duke of Normandy released "Ulfam Haroldi quondam regis Anglorum filium, Dunechaldumque regis Scottorum Malcolmi filium" from custody after his father's death in Sep 1087, knighted them and allowed them to leave Normandy[333]. He joined William II King of England and remained at his court in England[334]. Florence of Worcester records that Duncan served in the army of King William II, who supported his bid to depose his uncle, and to whom Duncan swore fealty before leaving for Scotland[335]. He deposed his uncle in 1094 and proclaimed himself DUNCAN II King of Scotland[336]. Florence of Worcester records that "Dufenaldum regis Malcolmi fratrem" was elected king after his brother's death but that "filius regis Malcolmi Dunechain" expelled "patruum suum Dufenaldum"[337]. The Annals of Inisfallen record that "Domnall son of Donnchadh” killed “Donnchadh son of Mael Coluim king of Alba” in 1094 and “took the kingship of Alba”[338]. The Annals of Ulster record that "Donnchad son of Mael Coluim, king of Scotland, was treacherously killed by his own brothers Domnall and Edmond" in 1094[339]. William of Malmesbury records that King Duncan was "murdered by the wickedness of his uncle Donald"[340]. Florence of Worcester records that "Scotti regem…Dunechan" was killed in [1094][341]. The Chronicle of the Picts and Scots dated 1251 records that "Donechat mac Malcolm" was killed "a Malpeder Mackcolm comite de Merns in Monacheden" through the treachery of "Donald mac Donehat"[342]. The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that "Duncan, King Malcolm´s illegitimate son" was "slain at Monthechin by the Earl of Mernys…Malpetri, in Scottish, Malpedir, through the wiles of his uncle Donald" as was buried "in the island of Iona"[343].

His parentage is confirmed by the Chronicle of John of Fordun (Continuator - Annals) which records the rebellion of his son "Macwilliam whose real name was Donald Bane…son of William son of Duncan the bastard" against King William[346]. That William was his father's only child is shown by King Duncan's charter dated to 1093 referring to "infans mei". As the actual date of the charter is more likely to be 1094, this leaves little time for the birth of any more children before the king's murder.

His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was an adult when killed, and old enough to have had a son himself at that time, but this precludes his being the son of Queen Margaret.

Although Margaret's birth is often placed in [1045/46][321], a later birth would be more consistent with the "German" theory of her mother's origin (as discussed in the document ANGLO-SAXON KINGS). Margaret's birth as late as 1053 would still be consistent with her having given birth to four children before her daughter Edith/Matilda (later wife of Henry I King of England), whose birth is estimated to have taken place in [1079/80]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Margaret left England with her mother in Summer 1067 and found refuge at the court of Malcolm King of Scotland[322]. Florence of Worcester records that "clitone Eadgaro et matre sua Agatha duabusque sororibus suis Margareta et Christina" left England for Scotland, in a passage which deals with events in mid-1068[323]. Florence of Worcester records that "regina Scottorum Margareta" died from grief after learning of the death of her husband and oldest son[324]. The Annals of Ulster record that "his queen Margaret…died of sorrow for him within nine days" after her husband was killed in battle[325].

He succeeded in 1094 as EDMUND joint King of Scotland, jointly with his uncle King Donald III "Bane", ruling south of the Forth/Clyde. He was deposed in 1097 by his brother Edgar, and became a monk at Montacute Abbey. Edmund is not mentioned either by Orderic Vitalis in his brief account of the usurpation of King Donald "Bane"[359], or by Florence of Worcester in his account of the deposition of King Donald in 1097[360]. If Edmund was older than his brother Edgar, it is not clear why their uncle Edgar Ætheling, who led the English army which deposed their uncle, would have supported the accession of Edgar in place of Edmund. The Annals of Ulster record that he was involved in the killing of his half-brother King Duncan[361]. William of Malmesbury records that "Edmund was the only degenerate son of Margaret", that he "[partook] in his uncle Donald's crime and…had been accessory to his brother's death", was "doomed to perpetual imprisonment", and "on his near approach of death, ordered himself to be buried in his chains"[362].

William of Malmesbury records the marriage of Alexander to the unnamed illegitimate daughter of King Henry, but adds "there was…some defect about the lady either in correctness of manners or elegance of person"[380], which appears to imply mental retardation. "Alexander…rex Scottorum filius regis Malcolmi et regine Margerete et…Sibilla regina Scottorum filia Henrici regis Anglie" reformed Scone Abbey by charter dated to [1114/15][381]. Her name is confirmed by various charters, including the charter dated to [1120] under which "Alexander…Rex Scottorum filius Regis Malcolmi et Reginæ Margaretæ et…Sibilla regina Scottorum filia Henrici regis Angliæ" made grants[382]. Considering the date of her marriage, it is unlikely that she was born much later than [1095]. The Complete Peerage[383] suggests that she was the daughter of Sibyl Corbet, both because of her name and also because of the possible co-identity between "…Willelmo fratre reginæ…", who witnessed the charter dated 1124 under which "Alexander…Rex Scottorum" granted jurisdiction to the prior of Scone[384], and "…Willielmo fratre meo…" who witnessed the charter dated to [1163/75] under which "Reginaldus, Henrici Regis filius, comes Cornubiæ" granted property to "Willielmo de Boterell, filio Aliziæ Corbet, materteræ meæ"[385]. However, this co-identity is not ideal from a chronological point of view. William, brother of Renaud Earl of Cornwall, died after 1187. If he was the same person as the brother of Sibyl Queen of Scotland, he could only have been a child when he subscribed the Scottish charters in which he is named. In addition, as noted in the document ENGLAND KINGS, it is possible that William, brother of Earl Renaud, may have been his uterine brother, in which case it is unlikely that he would have been chosen to accompany the queen to Scotland. Another factor is that the birth of Herbert FitzHerbert, son of Sibyl Corbet by her marriage, is estimated to [1125/35] (see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY). This means that he could only have been Sibyl´s half-brother if she had been a young girl at the time of her marriage. On the other hand, "Robert Corbet" witnessed charters in Scotland which are dated to late in the reign of King Alexander and the early years of the reign of his brother King David (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY). If Robert Corbet was Queen Sibyl´s maternal grandfather or her maternal uncle, this could account for his presence at the Scottish court at the time. The Extracta ex Cronicis Scocie records the death in 1122 "apud Lochtay cellam canonicorum de Scona" of "Sibilla…regine Scocie uxor regis Alexandri, filia Henrici Beuclerk regis Anglie"[386].

[edit] Early life

Matilda was born around 1080 in Dunfermline, the daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland and Saint Margaret. She was christened (baptised) Edith, and Robert Curthose stood as godfather at the ceremony. Queen Matilda, the consort of William the Conqueror, was also present at the baptismal font and served as her godmother. Baby Matilda pulled at Queen Matilda's headdress, which was seen as an omen that the younger Matilda would be queen one day.[2]

The Life Of St Margaret, Queen Of Scotland was later written for Matilda possibly by Turgot of Durham. It refers to Matilda's childhood and her relationship with her mother. In it, Margaret is described as a strict but loving mother. She did not spare the rod when it came to raising her children in virtue, which the author presupposed was the reason for the good behaviour Matilda and her siblings displayed, and Margaret also stressed the importance of piety.[3]

When she was about six years old, Matilda of Scotland (or Edith as she was then probably still called) and her sister Mary were sent to Romsey Abbey, near Southampton, where their aunt Cristina was abbess. During her stay at Romsey and, some time before 1093, at Wilton Abbey, both institutions known for learning,[4] the Scottish princess was much sought-after as a bride; refusing proposals from William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, and Alan Rufus, Lord of Richmond. Hériman of Tournai claimed that William II Rufus considered marrying her. Her education went beyond the standard feminine pursuits. This was not surprising as her mother was a great lover of books and literate. Her daughters learned English, French, and some Latin, and were sufficiently literate to read St. Augustine and the Old and New Testaments. [5]

In 1093, her parents betrothed her to Alan Rufus, Lord of Richmond, one of her numerous suitors. However, before the marriage took place, her father entered into a dispute with William Rufus. In response, he marauded the English king's lands where he was surprised by Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumbria and killed along with his son, Edward. Upon hearing of her husband and son's death, Margaret, already ill, died on November 16. Edith was now an orphan. She was abandoned by her betrothed who ran off with a daughter of Harold Godwinson, Gunhild of Wessex. However, he died before they could be married. [6]

She had left 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. She did not return to Wilton and until 1100, is largely unaccounted for in chronicles. [7]

[edit] Marriage

After the mysterious death of William II in August 1100, his brother, Henry, immediately seized the royal treasury and crown. His next task was to marry and Henry's choice was Matilda. Because Matilda had spent most of her life in a convent, there was some controversy over whether she was a nun and thus canonically ineligible for marriage. Henry sought permission for the marriage from Archbishop Anselm, who returned to England in September 1100 after a long exile. Professing himself unwilling to decide so weighty a matter on his own, Anselm called a council of bishops in order to determine the canonical legality of the proposed marriage. Matilda testified that she had never taken holy vows, insisting that her parents had sent her and her sister to England for educational purposes, and her aunt Cristina had veiled her to protect her "from the lust of the Normans." Matilda claimed she had pulled the veil off and stamped on it, and her aunt beat and scolded her for this act. The council concluded that Matilda was not a nun, never had been and her parents had not intended that she become one, giving their permission for the marriage.

Matilda and Henry seem to have known one another for some time before their marriage — William of Malmesbury states that Henry had "long been attached" to her, and Orderic Vitalis says that Henry had "long adored" her character. It is possible that Matilda had spend some time at William Rufus's court and that the pair had met there. It is also possible Henry was introduced to his bride by his teacher Bishop Osmund. Whatever the case, it is clear that the two at least knew each other prior to their wedding. Additionally, the chronicler William of Malmesbury suggests that the new king loved his bride. [8]

Matilda's mother was the sister of Edgar the Ætheling, proclaimed but uncrowned King of England after Harold, and, through her, Matilda was descended from Edmund Ironside and thus from the royal family of Wessex, which in the 10th century had become the royal family of a united England. This was extremely important because although Henry had been born in England, he needed a bride with ties to the ancient Wessex line to increase his popularity with the English and to reconcile the Normans and Anglo-Saxons. [9] In their children, the two factions would be united, further unifying the new regime. Another benefit was that England and Scotland became politically closer; three of Matilda's brothers became kings of Scotland in succession and were unusually friendly towards England during this period of unbroken peace between the two nations: Alexander married one of Henry I's illegitimate daughters and David lived at Henry's court for some time before his accession.[10]

Matilda had a small dower but it did incorporate some lordship rights. Most of her dower estates were granted from lands previously held by Edith of Wessex. Additionally, Henry made numerous grants on his wife including substantial property in London. Generosity aside, this was a political move in order to win over the unruly Londoners who were vehement supporters of the Wessex kings. [11]

[edit] Queen

The seal of Matilda
After Matilda and Henry were married on 11 November 1100 at Westminster Abbey by Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, she was crowned as "Matilda," a hallowed Norman name. By courtiers, however, she and her husband were soon nicknamed 'Godric and Godiva'.[12] These two names were typical English names from before The Conquest and mocked their more rustic style, especially when compared to the flamboyance of William II.

She gave birth to a daughter, Matilda, born in February 1102, and a son, William, called "Adelin", in November 1103. As Queen, she resided primarily at Westminster, but accompanied her husband on his travels around England, and, circa 1106–1107, probably visited Normandy with him. Matilda was the designated head of Henry's curia and acted as regent during his frequent absences.[13]

During the English investiture controversy (1103-07), she acted as intercessor between her husband and archbishop Anselm. She wrote several letters during Anselm's absence, first asking him for advice and to return, but later increasingly to mediate.[14]

Matilda was born around 1080 in Dunfermline, the daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland and Saint Margaret. She was christened (baptised) Edith, and Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, stood as godfather at the ceremony. The English queen Matilda of Flanders was also present at the baptismal font and served as her godmother. Baby Matilda pulled at Queen Matilda's headdress, which was seen as an omen that the younger Matilda would be queen one day.

The Life of St Margaret, Queen of Scotland was later written for Matilda possibly by Turgot of Durham. It refers to Matilda's childhood and her relationship with her mother.

During the English investiture controversy (1103-07), she acted as intercessor between her husband and archbishop Anselm. She wrote several letters during Anselm's absence, first asking him for advice and to return, but later increasingly to mediate.

Matilda had great interest in architecture and instigated the building of many Norman-style buildings, including Waltham Abbey and Holy Trinity Aldgate. She also had the first arched bridge in England built, at Stratford-le-Bow, as well as a bathhouse with piped-in water and public lavatories at Queenhithe.

Her court was filled with musicians and poets; she commissioned a monk, possibly Thurgot, to write a biography of her mother, Saint Margaret. She was an active queen and, like her mother, was renowned for her devotion to religion and the poor. William of Malmesbury describes her as attending church barefoot at Lent, and washing the feet and kissing the hands of the sick. Matilda exhibited a particular interest in leprosy, founding at least two leper hospitals, including the institution that later became the parish church of St Giles-in-the-Fields. She also administered extensive dower properties and was known as a patron of the arts, especially music.

After Matilda died on 1 May 1118 at Westminster Palace, she was buried at Westminster Abbey. The death of her son, William Adelin, in the tragic disaster of the White Ship (November 1120) and Henry's failure to produce a legitimate son from his second marriage led to the succession crisis of The Anarchy.

After her death, she was remembered by her subjects as "Matilda the Good Queen" and "Matilda of Blessed Memory", and for a time sainthood was sought for her, though she was never canonized. Matilda is also thought to be the identity of the "Fair Lady" mentioned at the end of each verse in the nursery rhyme London Bridge Is Falling Down. The post-Norman conquest English monarchs to the present day are related to the Anglo-Saxon House of Wessex monarchs via Matilda of Scotland as she was the great-granddaughter of King Edmund Ironside, see House of Wessex family tree.

Edith av Skottland, senere kalt Matilda (født ca 1080 - 1. mai 1118), datter av Malcolm III av Skottland og Margaret, og hun var den første hustruen til kong Henrik I av England.

Bakgrunn
Hennes slekt gikk tilbake til det gamle angelsaksiske kongehuset på morsiden. Hun ble døpt Edith (angelsaksiske Eadgyth, ?kamplykke?) og hertug Robert Curthose av Normandie var hennes gudfar. Den engelske dronningen Matilda av Flandern var også tilstede ved døpefonten og kan ha vært hennes gudmor. I England er hun kjent som ?Matilda? (fra germansk Mahthilda, ?mektig-slag?, det navn hun ble kronet under og favorisert av normannerne, og som hun ble referert til gjennom hele hennes ektemanns kongedømme. Det er uklart når navnet ble endret og hvorfor. Denne artikkelen benytter dog hennes dåpsnavn.

Da Edith var omtrent seks år gammel ble hun og hennes søster Mary sendt til Romsey hvor deres tante Cristina var abbedisse. I løpet av hennes opphold ved Romsey og Wilton var hun meget ettertraktet som brud, men hun avslo tilbud fra både William de Warenne, 2. jarl av Surrey, og Alan Rufus, herre av Richmond. Hermann av Tournai hevdet at til og med den engelske kongen Vilhelm Rufus overveide å gifte seg med henne. Hun var ute av klosteret i 1093 ettersom Anselm, erkebiskop av Canterbury, skrev til biskopen av Salisbury hvor han beordret at datteren til Skottlands konge måtte bli tilbakelevert til klosteret hun hadde forlatt.

Ekteskap
Etter at Vilhelm Rufus døde i august 1100 grep hans bror Henrik hurtig det kongelig skattekammer og tronen. Hans neste oppgave var å gifte seg og hans valg hadde lenge vært Edith. Ettersom hun hadde tilbrakte det meste av sitt liv i et nonnekloster var det en del strid om hun hadde gitt sitt nonneløfte eller ikke. Henrik søkte tillatelse for ekteskap his erkebiskop Anselm som kom tilbake til England i september 1100 etter en lang tid i eksil grunnet strid med den tidligere kongen. Anselm var dog uvillig til å avgjøre et så vektig spørsmål alene og tilkalte et råd av biskoper for å avgjøre ekteskapets gyldighet.

Edith vitnet selv for erkebiskopen og bisperådet at hun aldri hadde tatt de hellige løftene. Hun insisterte på at hennes foreldre hadde sendt henne og hennes søster til England for å bli utdannet, og at hennes tante Cristina hadde gitt henne slør kun for å beskytte henne ?fra normannernes begjær?. Edith hevdet at hun hadde dratt av seg sløret og trampet på det og at hennes tante hadde banket og kjeftet redselsfullt på henne for dette. Rådet avgjorde at Edith hadde aldri vært en nonne, heller ikke hadde hennes foreldre bestemt at hun skulle bli en, og ga deretter deres tillatelse for ekteskapet.

Edith og Henrik synes å ha kjent hverandre i en del tid før de ble gift. William av Malmesbury uttaler at Henrik hadde ?lenge vært tiltrukket? av henne, og Orderic Vitalis sier at Henrik hadde ?lenge beundret? hennes karakter. Gjennom Ediths mor nedstammet hun fra Edmund Jernside og således også Alfred den store og den gamle kongefamilie i Wessex, og dette synes å ha vært viktig for Henrik da det bidro til å gjøre ham populær hos det engelske folket. I deres barn ville det normanniske og angelsaksiske kongehusene bli forent. En annen fordel av ekteskapet var at England og Skottland ble politisk knyttet til hverandre; tre av hennes brødre ble konger av Skottland og var uvanlig lojale til England i løpet av denne perioden.

Dronning
Etter at Edith og Henrik ble gift den 11. november 1100 ved Westminster Abbey av erkebiskop Anselm ble hun kronet under navnet ?Matilda?. Hun ga fødsel til en datter, døpt Matilda, siden kjent som Maud, i februar 1102, og en sønn, William, i november 1103.

Som dronning opprettholdt hun sitt hoff hovedsakelig ved Westminster, men fulgte sin mann på hans reiser over hele England, og en gang mellom 1106-1107 besøkte hun antagelig Normandie sammen med ham. Hun tjente også i en form for visekongelig posisjon når Henrik ikke var tilstede ved hoffet. Hennes hoff var fylt med musikere og poeter. Hun bestilte et verk fra en munk, antagelig Thurgot, for å skrive en biografi om hennes mor som hadde blitt saliggjort. Hun var en aktiv dronning og som sin mor var hun kjent for sin fromhet for religion og de fattige. William av Malmesbury forteller at hun kom barfotet til kirken i løpet av fasten, og at hun vasket og kysset hendene til de syke. Hun skal også ha administrert omfattende medgifteiendommer og var kjent som patron av kunsten, spesielt musikk.

Død og etterdømme
Etter at Edith døde den 1. mai 1118 ved Westminster Palace ble hun gravlagt i Westminster Abbey. Da hennes og Henriks eneste sønn døde to år etter henne i ulykken med skipet Det hvite skip og hans andre ekteskap ikke frambrakte en ny arving førte det til en krise over tronfølgen som til slutt førte England inn i en borgerkrig.

Etter hennes død ble hun husket av sine etterkommere som ?den gode dronning?, og det ble for en tid tilstrebet helgenerklæring for henne, men hun ble aldri kanonisert.

Etterkommere
Edith og Henrik fikk kun to barn:

Maud (Mathilda), født februar 1102, først gift med Henrik V av det tysk-romerske rike, og kalles derfor også keiserinne Edith, og etter hans død med Geoffrey V an Anjou. Hun var den første kvinnelige monark i England, en kort periode i 1141.
William Adelin, født 1103, for en kort periode var han formelt, om enn kun i navnet hertug av Normandie.

Henry's first queen was chosen for her descent from the Saxon kings rather than for any other consideration. She was born at Dunfermline in 1079 or 1080 and was consequently twenty years old when negotiations for her marriage commenced. Indeed, she had been expected to take the veil and was living under the protection of her aunt, the Abbess Christina, at Romsey, when Henry demanded her hand inmarriage. The wedding was solemnized at Westminster on 11 November 1100 by Archbishop Anselm, who crowned her the same day. The following July she gave birth prematurely to an infant which did not survive and in the succeeding years her children William and Matilda were born at Winchester, possibly (though not certainly) twins.
Matilda, true to her convent upbringing and following the footsteps of her mother, St Margaret, was given to good works. She built a leper hospital at St Giles-in-the-Aldgate. On 1 May 1118 she died at Westminster and was buried in the Abbey. All trace of her tomb has disappeared.
