Patreon Series: Context of a Conquest

Episode 171: Was Matilda Really A Monster?

Today, we dive into one of the most powerful couples of the Middle Ages—William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders. History tells us theirs was a loyal and respectful union...but was it really? We’ll look at what the chronicles say, what they don’t say, and explore just how faithful the marriage may have been behind the polished façade of royal partnership. Love, power, ambition—it’s all on the table.
