Title: The Empress Matilda
First published: 1992
Description: "Granddaughter of William the Conqueror and of King Malcolm of the Scots, and daughter of Henry I, Matilda fought for the throne of England, arguably hers by right, for nine years, and was denied it largely because she was a woman. In valour and determination Matilda may be compared with Boudicca or with Elizabeth I." "This is the first fully documented account of her extraordinary, action-packed life to have been published in English. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
