    Empress Matilda, with all her rightful claim, seemed destined to become the first queen of England. However, her cousin Stephen, backed by the influential lords and barons, seized the opportunity from her grasp. King Stephen's wife, Matilda, added another layer to this historical drama with her significant presence. Eventually, the two formidable women found themselves in a fierce face-off, locked in a battle for the throne. This time in history is similar to the Wars of the Roses centuries later! -- Credits: Host: Rebecca Larson Guest: Sharon Bennett Connolly #womenoftheanarchy #queens #england #royalhistory #royals #history #womeninhistory #empressmatilda #empressmaud #kingstephen #henryi #williamtheconqueror #newforest #murder #queens #kings #podcast #tudorsdynasty --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rebecca-larson/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rebecca-larson/support
