A direct quote from www.royal.gov.uk: They call her Mathilda, daughter of Count Baldwin V of Flanders. I'm inclined to take their word for it. "From 1047 onwards, William (I the Conqueror) successfully dealt with rebellion inside Normandy involving his kinsmen and threats from neighbouring nobles, including attempted invasions by his former ally King Henry I of France in 1054 (the French forces were defeated at the Battle of Mortemer) and 1057. William's military successes and reputation helped him to negotiate his marriage to Mathilda, daughter of Count Baldwin V of Flanders. At the time of his invasion of England, William was a very experienced and ruthless military commander, ruler and administrator who had unified Normandy and inspired fear and respect outside his duchy." -----Original Message----- From: Amanda McCormick [mailto:McCormackNnp@msn.com] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 7:51 PM To: PLANTAGENET-DESCENDANTS-PROJECT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PDP] RE: My most direct Plantagenet linneage Henry I was the son of William I and Maud of Flanders.
