Henry I. of England, by Matilda, his first wife, was See also:born in 1102. In 1109 she was betrothed to the See also:emperor-elect, Henry V.; and was sent to See also:Germany, but the See also:marriage was delayed till 1114. Her See also:husband died after eleven years of wedlock, leaving her childless; and, since both her See also:brothers were now dead, she was recalled to her See also:father's See also:court in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order that she might be recognized as his successor in England and See also:Normandy. The See also:Great See also:Council of England did See also:homage to her under considerable pressure. Their reluctance to acknowledge a See also:female See also:sovereign was increased when Henry gave her in marriage to See also:Geoffrey See also:Plantagenet, the See also:heir of See also:Anjou and See also:Maine (1129); nor was it removed by the See also:birth of the future Henry II. in 1133.

time. They wasted the next few years in the See also:attempt to win Normandy; but See also:Earl See also:Robert of See also:Gloucester, the See also:half-See also:brother of the empress, at length induced her to visit England and raise her See also:standard in the western shires, where his influencewas supreme. Though on her first landing Matilda only escaped See also:capture through the misplaced See also:chivalry of her opponent, she soon turned the tables upon him with the help of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church and the barons of the See also:west. Stephen was defeated and captured at See also:Lincoln (1141); the empress was acclaimed See also:lady or queen of England (she used both titles indifferently) and crowned at See also:London. But the arrogance which she displayed in her prosperity alienated the Londoners and the papal See also:legate, See also:Bishop Henry of See also:Winchester. Routed at the See also:siege of Winches-ter, she was compelled to See also:release Stephen in See also:exchange for Earl Robert, . and thenceforward her cause steadily declined in England. In 1148, having lost by the earl's death her See also:principal supporter, she retired to Normandy, of which her husband had in the meantime gained See also:possession. Henceforward she remained in the background, leaving her eldest son Henry to pursue the struggle with Stephen. She outlived Henry's See also:coronation by ten years; her husband had died in 1151. As queen-See also:mother she played the See also:part of a mediator between her sons and See also:political parties. See also:Age mellowed her See also:temper, and she turned more and more from See also:secular ambitions to charity and religious See also:works. She died on the 3oth of See also:January 1164.
