  • Notes 
    • Princess of Alba/Albany. Christened Edith, but adopted the name Matilda upon her marriage to Henry. It was thought the Norman barons might not respect a queen with a Saxon name. The marriage to Henry represented the union of Norman & Saxon royal lines. Crowned Queen Consort 11/14 Nov 1100 at Westminster Abbey.
