Matilda's Controversial Coronation & The Antipope #history #england

追加: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Matilda did receive a coronation in Rome. However, it was not the Pope who performed the ceremony.

[00:00:06]Henry attempted to remedy this omission a year later by appointing the archbishop who had crowned his wife as Pope Gregory VIII.

[00:00:15]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.
