Description
Matilda, raised by her grandmother, married King Henry I, making her the Queen Germany. As Queen, Matilda was always willing to help the less fortunate and had a very good influence over her husband. The couple had five children together, but the two eldest sons ended up battling over the throne when the King died. Matilda was falsely accused of frivolously spending the country’s finances, and the brothers joined together in persecuting her. She returned after a brief exile. She is known for her devotion to prayer and helping the poor.
