I said this before, & I’ll say it again the lives of the kings & queens of England are better than any soap opera.😊

One of the problems with keeping everyone straight from this era is all the women are named “Matilda”. Henry I’s wife changed her name to “Matilda” to fit in.

Maud aka Empress Matilda was also Queen of Italy and Germany. They should've crowned her and drowned Stephen.
