| Notes for Matilda , Queen of England |
| "She was designated Henry [I]'s heir, and on his death (1135), Stephen seized the throne and Matilda invaded England (1139), inaugurating a period of inconclusive civil war. She and her second husband (Geoffrey) captured Normandy, and in 1152 the Treaty of Wallingford recognised [her son] Henry as Stephen's heir. Burke says she was betrothed in her eighth year (1119) to Henry [V of Germany]."149 |
