Summary
In 1100, Henry I became King of England after the suspicious death of William Rufus, but his accession was contested. To help placate his Anglo-Saxon subjects, he chose as his queen one of their own, the Scottish princess Matilda. She would prove to be far more than just dynastic window-dressing, becoming one of the most powerful queens in English mediaeval history.
