Tracy Borman: Matilda
Matilda: Queen of the Conqueror is the first English biography of the thrilling, tempestuous life of the ‘first’ Queen of England. Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror, was the first woman to be crowned Queen of England and formally recognised as such by her subjects. Beyond this though, little is known of her life. In this first major biography, Tracy Borman transports us from the courts of Flanders and Normandy to the opulence of royal life in England and elegantly sifts through the shards of evidence to uncover the remarkable story of the queen who had an extraordinary amount of influence over her king. Chaired by Rebecca Jenkins.
