Henry had so much respect for his mother not father, that he wanted those around him and the Kingdom to refer to him as the son of the Empress.
This may also demonstrate his liberality. He was aware that he rose to the throne thanks to his mother's efforts, and not his dad's. So he developed a unique way in his views about women. The fact that he married a so much older woman than him (eleanor of aquitaine) and entrusted his kingdom to her (he fully confied in her political capabilities) are proofs of this, I think.
I mean his mom was the embattled ruler of a large nation. His dad was a lowly French lord
Henry always referred to himself as Henry Fitzempress (son of the Empress) in honour of his mother
His Mother was more like a Gael then English seeing how her grandfather was Malcolm III
Henry Fitzempress!
Matilda had the last laugh when her son became king.
Stephen had the last laugh when Henry’s wife and all his sons rebelled against him and he died whilst his sons took the crown
@@jesterofspades3903 But By Then Stephen And All His 'Spawn' Were LONG DEAD.
@@jamiecorrigan3241 it matters not, neither Matilda nor her son had the long successful reign that that wished for.
@@jesterofspades3903 And Henry II had a laugh when he absolutely trounced his sons and their mother in 1173-74 and locked Eleanor up for 15 years. Also, I’m sure founding a legal system that daily impacts the lives of the 35% percent of the world is worth a laugh too. Henry did have a long and successful reign, one of the the most successful in history in fact. No historian worth his or her salt would not consider Henry II a great king, or even one of the greatest.
@@CommonSwindler yes but he was still deposed and went to war with his his family.
Criminally underated. Would so love if Matilda had became England's first Queen regnant. At least she succeeded in getting her son on throne thus continuing her father's legacy. It's a crime that this is the only on screen portrayal of Empress Matilda. She was such a fascinating formidable woman. We've had enough Tudor portrayals, now we need more Matilda On screen! 💕🌹
Love her too! Maybe we will get them in the future
She actually has a role in the Hollywood movie 'Beckett' but by then she's old and sadly in a minor role since the movie's about Thomas Beckett and Henry II.
@@alondraperez-ramirez8363 Thanks I did not know that. Someone as fascinating as Matilda still needs to be depicted on screen more.
The anjou/ plantagenet dynasty is much more intresting then the tudor dynasty. With very powerfull women. Maud, Eleanor of aquitaine
@@gastonmens5744 and Eleanor of Castile too.
Fun Fact: Empress Matilda of England is the inspiration for Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen. 🙏🙏
That honestly makes so much sense now. I can see King Stephen being Aegon II 😂
Except Henry II was a skilled warrior that expanded the nation and forged an empire while Aegon III was relatively seen as a weak king
And Daenerys Targaryen is inspired from Queen Elisabeth I
@@bensonfang1868 Well shite happens when you're a kid and you see your mother burned and eaten by a dragon in front of you
@@francescabuonanno2333 no, inspired by king john
She’s so strong her words are stronger than they think she’s such a great woman
Love how you phrased that
It's too bad that this portrayal of Empress Matilda isn't more accurate, but if it creates more awareness of her life, that's a plus.
Steven will learn that at least we keep our promises and we are not to be crossed!!! Well said.
The ones who had the last laugh is Henry Plantagenet
And then Margaret Beaufort, Henry VII's mother had a last laugh and then her granddaughter Mary I had an even laster laugh and then her youngest granddaughter Elizabeth I had the lastest lastly laugh or all laughs 😎😄
@Abdul Jalloh wait was Henry the 2ed wife Eleanor ?
Pillars of the earth is seriously such a good show
Though only the back-drop to Pillars of the Earth, the drama of Matilda and Stephen is a powerful one! Well done in your presentation, here!
King steven... oh wrong king traitor. Long live queen matilda, oh wrong empress matilda. 😊😊
LOLOL
YES THE TRUE QUEEN ❤
*we are not your lady we are your majesty* holy fuck
When her son went to claim he's birth right
She sat back and enjoyed the veiw.
She’s a bad ass women have made this world no matter what anyone else says
William Adelin`s wife Matilda of Anjou
was not on the white ship and lived until 1154. So she did not die when the white ship sank. Matilda had avoided the disaster, as passage for her had been arranged aboard another ship,
There's a lot of changes in history in the Pillars, like Eustace definitely wasn't slain by Henry II in battle, since he didn't die in a battle. Yet I love the show - it was quite well made and the White Ship story was expanded on very well.
Τhe original inspiration for the character of Rhaenyra from House of the Dragons (and of the Dance of the Dragons-book of course).
She was a great and powerful princess empress and mother her son got his strength from her.
Well her descendants ended up on the thrown so she got the last laugh.
And there wasn’t another Stephen either
Exactly she did
Dance of the Dragons, Maude=Rhaenyra, Steven= Aegon ii
well at least someone figured out GoT is nothing more than the fantasy version of england's history
@@TheChill001 yup
Yeah but....its has even more misogyny than actual history 😒 at least the real Maud lived to be a respected mother of the king. Not murdered. GoT is like English history if it was an incels fantasy
Steven’s claim is more like Laenor Velaryon though: unlike matilda he didn’t have the same last name as William the conqueror since his royal claim came from his mother. He couldn’t claim male primogeniture as an excuse.
She realized in the end she had done all she could. She left England and turned it over to her son and had a front row seat to watch one of the greatest dynasties to ever rule a country.
She was actually chased out of London by its inhabitants. She realised her cause was hopeless.
The Anarchy...Exactly where GRRM got the idea for the story of 'Dance of the Dragons'
A Great Woman And A Great Leader !!!
If she was a great leader she would have won the civil war wouldn’t she
@@jesterofspades3903 Ah, Not Only 'Jester' By Name.
@@jamiecorrigan3241 jester/not a jester, makes no it difference to the point, Stephen won the war and he only allowed Henry ll to become his heir after his own son died.
@@jesterofspades3903 Ah Well, You Are Very Young So That Explains Much. On The Bright Side I Did Enjoy Your Video Of Your Period Costume, GREAT STUFF !!! Follow Your Dreams And Enjoy !!!
@@jamiecorrigan3241 everything I said is true, Stephen won the war through better leadership and a more loyal army and he only named Henry ll as his heir because his own son died.
Even then Henry ll never had the long prosperous reign that he or his mother wanted because he is only famous for murdering Thomas Beckett and fighting with his sons and wife. He died in 1189 after realising that his favourite son John had joined Richard in theyre rebellion against him. What about that is false?
Loved this show! Dying to watch it again!
Henry was actually a decent guy I am lowkey confused as to why Eleanor plotted agin at him he respect women he legit gave her power yet she turned his sims against him he was a good guy for the time period .
Henry II was cheating on Eleanor with multiple women, and fathered multiple illegitimate children. The final straw that broke their marriage was when he flaunted his mistress Rosamund Clifford publicly, trying to get a divorce from Eleanor because he wanted to marry Rosamund.
i mean, historical records show about how he has been very controlling. he felt like if its not him handling things then there will be chaos. which his sons hated because they arent able to learn properly how they'll be good lords, let alone kings if their father retained all the control. eleanor was pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place. she had two choices - the king or her kids? she chose her kids. though he cheated on her MULTIPLE TIMES, eleanor was stuck to what she does best and that was minding her own business in aquitaine. but henry really was overkill and she tried to stop it.
@@sixeyesheavens7 He was definitely a medieval Logan Roy 😂.
He cheated and fell in love with someone else so she had every right to want to hurt him as badly I would have just had the other woman and kids killed back then
They had an estranged relationship at the time. Henry loved and honored his mother, but both Henry and Eleanor had extremely strong personalities and the marriage was plagued by infidelity on Henry’s end. It’s hard to say why Eleanor supported her sons, although she had a great relationship with Richard specifically so she probably chose Henry the Young King and Richard over her husband because she cared for her children more.
I'm directly descended from Matilda. I would like to see this.
Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you! I don't feel too happy, though. Rather dreadful. My gut tells me GOT will kill off Daenerys today and I will be depressed for long time...
@@GalicianGranddaughter666 ...I gave up on Game of Thrones after Season 4...from the Internet complaining, it looks like I'm not missing much. :(
Thank you as this gives me insight to our family History as Empress Matilda was my 28th Great grandmother. King Henry 27th Great-grandfather
That armor in the series was ridiculous 🤣
Also, she was German empress, but isn’t carrying the Imperial eagle as her banner 🤔but whatever.
Good video though
kinda sad they didn't show the man who actually managed to win the throne for Stephen, the earl of Kent
Rest in peace 🕊️
Honestly Henry the first seemed like a pretty stand out guy he was like no F’s given I have a son that died but I also
Have a spare my wife did her job wrf care if she’s a girl I mean he saw zero issue with it and I am guessing she had supporters clearly as she won in the end and and I she was like any kings wet dream .( namely Henry the 8th.) she had 4 sons all healthy and grew to adulthood.
OMG I found out that she was my 36th great grandma
Multifandomx Yeah I found it out on Ancestry
Me too! She’s my 29th
My 24th "Great"-Grandmother! Incredible woman!
She's my dog
Yea its true i am the DNA test
Idc what anyone says…she was a QUEEN in her own right! It’s not her fault that the country just couldn’t keep up. But her blood still lived on.
we need to have a tv series about queen Matilda
So Matilda have the last laugh because her descendants ruled for another three hundred years or more
more like seven hundred years. Elizabeth II is her direct descendent.
This season of House of the Dragon looks different
I’m related to her apparently
She was my Ancestor too :)
She is mine too 💝
Me too
Must be nice to know your lineage so far back!
That Bygone Girl Yeah I did Ancestry and found out that I’m both related to both Empress Maud (Matilda) and King Stephen, Empress Maud through the Mortimer family and Stephen through the DeVere family.
Maud Empress Matilda is my 25th Great Grandmother
Super cool. Your related to William the conqueror
And Alfred the Great.
And King Ecgbert :)
3:09 she wasn't empress regnant i.e not crowned Empress of Romans by her own right but due to her first husband Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor. She just kept the title after his death as its more prestigious. But Henry II, her son would not become emperor just by being her son. He wasn't even the son of Henry V but Geoffrey Plantagenet, count of Anjou and Maine. But that guy Henry II was crafty, he became an emperor in all but name (See Angevin Empire)
Maude > Daenerys.
Yeah you heard me.
You're right. And you should say it!
Maude is more like Rhaenyra and Stephen is Aegon ii (The Dance of the Dragons)
@Michael McLaughlin Actually Maude=Rhaenyra
Oh! Yeah Like @Ya Boy Stephen said *stands behind Stephen* YEAH! SO THERE!!!
Daenyers was actually based (quite loosely) Henry Tudor the VII.
@@mediocremaiden8883 I always so that would make Young Griff her Perkin Warbeck
What about queen Matilda Duchess of Normandy and queen of England , wife of king William I ? I think we need to see her in the media she was as powerful as her husband and he left her to rule Normandy as regent when he was in England and they had like 10 kids, a power couple and sweethearts!
Not to mention how William ‘wooed’ her.
❤❤❤❤❤❤amenamen
Empress Matilda = Rhaenyra
Queen Matilda = Alicent
I think these 2 royals shouldn't have fought the war for years.
Is it just me or doesn't anyone else see a queen in war yell yes bitch . Get it done lol . Its things and amazing women like her that make me proud to he a women .
You need to watch house of the dragon thenn
Matilda She is The First Plantagenet Queen of England & The First Empress of Europe of England & France & Scotland & Other Parts of Europe She Is First of Mother of Europe All of The Other Warrior Queen's Of The Age Of All The First Queen OF England Was Boudica & The Last Is Elizabeth ii Long Live The Queen's Are My Ancestor's Are like of Matilda & Mary Stuart & Margert Tudor Mary Stuart & Marjorie Bruce All of The Queen's of England To Scotland Are My Ancestor's I'm Prod To Be Related To Them Because They Are The Same🏵️👑🏴🏴🏴🇫🇷🇩🇪👸🏻🤴🏻
Except that Bodicea was not English. She was queen of the Iceni celts, the first English, that is, the Angles, Saxons etc first set foot in Britain about 3 centuries later.
Can someone help me with this is this Netflix?
What movie is this
What show is this
The Pillars of the Earth.
Why is she called Maude? Isn't her name Matilda in history? Empress Matilda
Empress Matilda was also known as Empress Maude. The series uses this name and so did I
She was called Maude to differentiate from her cousin's wife Matilda of Boulogne.
Virtually every noble woman of this period was named Matilda, btw...
She was christend Adelaide but changed her name to Matilda upon marrying the Holy Roman Emperor however upon returning to England she had been dubbed Empress Maude, Lady of the English by her followers.
@@MikeGill87 really? I thought the name was actually working-class.
The only part of this I don't like is they warped Matilda to fit with the modern tastes. Matilda upon returning after her husband the HREmporer died, still demanded to be called empress. And was used to the totalitarian rule of a king and was by all acounts a very demanding and had a strong sense of being better than literally anyone and by all accounts was a cruel mostly scheming and clawing for power due to greed kinda woman. As was Stephen but still. They make her look like a mother fighting for her kid but her son was basically a tool to her to get power, since she couldn't after finally realized what everyone else did. by the laws of the age she was invalid from the start, and she was kind of a bitch lol. I am big into historical accuracy. So this bothers me. The world without end is better. Slightly more accurate. Except for Eddy 2 being alive.
Oh and they'd all be speaking very French. Since they like.....2 steps from Norman conquest lol won't be an English speaking king until Henry the 4th.
Also. Spoiler alert. She loses. And runs to France. THEN has Henry. Who later takes the throne as Stephen's heir.
If she really used her son as a tool just to get power he wouldn’t have valued her so much later in her life. He loved her and honored her because she did right by him. And she was proud and entitled. Who wasn’t?
@@GalicianGranddaughter666 That she abandoned her own claim to instead pursue her son's is her demonstration that she isn't so aloof that she rejects political reality, and that she is putting her son and family ahead of her own ambition. If Henry FitzEmpress had resented her treating him as a tool, then he probably wouldn't have appointed her regent of England and Normandy at various points..
@@davidtownsend6092 Henry and his brothers Geoffrey and William were born before her father Henry I died. She did not run to France. She was already in Anjou when her father died and I think she was recovering from her pregnancy. Stephen basically usurped the crown in her absence. Had she been in England Stephen would have not been able to do that.
@@davidtownsend6092 Wow, Mr. "big into historical accuracy" ,your hatred for oposite gender is really showing here in your views... Congrats....(did you read the comments that corrected your twisting of real history? Don't you have any mother or sister?)
Who is she ?
Mother of the first plantegenat king Henry II
What channel was this on or what T.V stream?
This video was cut together from snippets of the 2010 TV series of "Pillars of the Earth"
i can't understand what they're saying
What nonsense this is Maude or Empress Matilda was at least 20 years old, probably older, by the time her brother died.
Many historical shows (like The White Queen, The Tudors, Medici) are known to be historically inaccurate at times. This one is no exception. While I would prefer the story was closer to the real events, I don't think it's "nonsense", after all this is not a documentary, it's fiction. But of course you are entitled to your opinion.
Empress Matilda was born in 1102 and her brother William Adelin died in 1120 so she was 18, William was 17 when he died.
I was here wondering the same thing. She was William Adelin's older sister and he was around 17 when he died. Plus she left the English court at age 8.
What is the name of the show?
Pillars of the Earth
@@GalicianGranddaughter666 where does it stream?
@@haedynlynch2899 starz and Hulu I think. Not sure
@@GalicianGranddaughter666 starz
What show is this?
Pillars of the Earth
@@GalicianGranddaughter666 Is the series taken from the books of Sharon Kay Penman? I read her books many years ago and loved them. She does an excellent job of research and weaving a story.
@@keawhitmore3842 I think Pillars of the Earth is the series based on Ken Follett's book. You may be thinking of the book. When Christ and His Angels Slept.
@@shinjineesen400 I have read that book. It felt like a cheap knock off of Sharen Kay Penman's work. Like the ghost writers, that work with Follet had read her work and stole it and didn't do a very good job.
Her son can't be emperor. She was empress consort
turn down the effing music!!
o god this is horribly innacurate
I know. I don't know what everyone is talking about in the comments. She was chased from London by its inhabitants, lost sympathy from pretty much everyone, and realised her cause was lost. The barons continued warring, destroying the country for another 20 years, taking advantage of Stephen’s ineffective rule until they and, of course, the oppressed English too became tired of the anarchy and constant war and wished the issue of succession settled. Only then did they look to the grandson of Henry I, Henry FitzEmpress, as a ruler to maintain the peace.
I don't know if it was just bad editing in the video because I haven't seen the movie, but it made it appear as if Maud's campaign was successful.
Who else is sick of trying to watch videos that are drowned out by this shitty music?
