About this listen

Born in 1102 to King Henry of England and Queen Matilda of Scotland, Matilda's uniquely royal Norman, Saxon, and Scottish heritage was meant to unify an England still divided by her grandfather's conquest in 1066. When the 1120 White Ship Disaster made her the only surviving child of her parents, Matilda suddenly became heiress to the English throne in a time when the old Saxon Witan, not the king's Will, still decided the succession.

Discover the true story of the first woman to claim the throne of England in her own right and be inspired!

Could not finish

Loosely based on historical fact, but narrative and dialogue is unrealistic and even trashy in parts.

Well-written and well-researched

This is a well-written and well-researched book, which makes for an enjoyable and educational read for history lovers of all ages. I read the eBook for this a couple of years ago, but enjoyed it so much I was more than happy to listen to the audio version as well when I was offered a coupon code for a copy. The narrator does a great job of bringing the story to life.
