Empress Meowtilda

Location

England

Date

circa 1100s

Born in 1102 in England, to King Hairnry I. She married a man who would later become Holy Roman Emperor Hairnry V. Because both her brother and husband died, her father married her off to Geoffurry of Anjou. However, when her father died, she had no heirs and was thus nominated to become heir. This was a controversial decision. Her cousin, Stefurrn of Blois, took the throne instead of Meowtilda. Though she was never crowned, she fought against the patriarchy for the rest of her days.
