Matilda of Scotland, Queen of England

Matilda of Scotland (1080 - May 1, 1118) was a Queen of England. She was the daughter of the English princess Saint Margaret and the Scottish king Malcolm III. She was descended from Alfred the Great. Matilda and Henry I married in late 1100. Matilda led a literary and musical court, but was also pious. She embarked on building projects for the church, and acted as regent when her husband was away; many surviving charters are signed by her. Matilda lived to see her daughter Matilda become Holy Roman Empress but died two years before the drowning of her son William. Cassell's Illustrated History of England, 1865 (cropped and cleaned).
