The Good Queen: Matilda of Scotland
Medieval Babes
by J.P. Reedman
Daughter of a Scottish king and an Anglo-Saxon princess, Edith is sent to her Aunt Cristina, the Abbess of Romsey, for her education. Cristina is harsh and unkind and tries to force Edith to wear a nun's veil, first as a disguise and then permanently, but Edith is enraged and tramples it on the ground.
She begs her parents to move her from Romsey to the grand Abbey of Wilton and for a while Edith's life is calm and fulfilling--but then the suitors begin to come.
Most fearsome of all is the King, William Rufus, with his fierce mismatched eyes, florid face...and evil reputation.
More intriguing, though, is his younger brother Henry, and when Rufus dies in the New Forest, struck by an arrow on the hunt, Edith of Scotland's world is about to change.
A new life...a new name...a destiny as England's Good Queen, uniting both Saxon and Norman.
Number 11 in the MEDIEVAL BABES SERIES about lesser-known medieval Queen and noblewomen.
