Matilda's coronation in Rome was controversial because it was not performed by the Pope, and despite Henry's attempt to remedy this by appointing the archbishop who crowned her as Pope Gregory VIII, she was addressed as empress but lacked the necessary legal confirmation in the strict sense, highlighting the complex relationship between imperial authority and papal recognition in medieval Europe.

Matilda's Controversial Coronation & The Antipope #history #englandAdded:
Matilda did receive a coronation in Rome. However, it was not the Pope who performed the ceremony.
Henry attempted to remedy this omission a year later by appointing the archbishop who had crowned his wife as Pope Gregory VIII.
Yet this claimant could not prevail. As a result, Matilda was addressed as empress, the customary style for the wife of a recognized emperor, but she lacked the necessary legal confirmation in the strict sense.
