There are Norman castles, and then there are Norman castles that are the oldest secular building in England out of which the Empress Matilda escaped with only a white cloak and a few men for company in the dead night of a winter siege 900 years ago. Oxford Castle is the latter. ⚔️🏰🧗🏻♀️ #oxfordcastle #empressmatilda #theanarchy #nichehistory #thatnormanlife (at Oxford Castle & Prison) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4m790Hq2J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ymhnq7workts

Matilda of Boulogne: The Warrior Queen Who Fought for Her Crown
Matilda of Boulogne was one of the most powerful women of 12th-century England. As the wife of Stephen of England, she became Queen of England during the civil war known as The Anarchy, a brutal struggle for the throne between Stephen and his cousin Empress Matilda.
Unlike many medieval queens who remained behind the scenes, Matilda of Boulogne was a determined political leader and military supporter. She raised armies, negotiated alliances, managed her husband’s territories, and personally helped defend Stephen’s cause. Her leadership was especially important in 1141, when Stephen was captured at the Battle of Lincoln and Matilda organized resistance that eventually secured his release.
Remembered as a loyal wife, skilled diplomat, and formidable figure in medieval politics, Matilda of Boulogne played a crucial role in one of England’s most turbulent periods. Her actions showed that medieval queens could wield real power and influence far beyond ceremonial duties.

The Motte-and-Bailey castle proliferated during The Anarchy, the terrible civil war between King Stephen and Empress Matilda for control of medieval England. Robber barons were sticking them up faster than you can say "illegal fortification" and using them as bases to pillage and terrorize the countryside. This one looks pretty nice though. We take a good old look at how they worked with the grande dame Matilda (or Maud) herself in CorpseTalk: Queens & Kings, out now from @dfb_storyhouse @acouplecomics #empressmatilda #motteandbailey #castles #medieval #theanarchy #corpsetalk #corpsetalkqueensandkings #history #historyforkids #historyforgrownupstoo #interviews #comics #zombies #nonfiction #humour #facts #kidsnonfiction #kidlit #booklaunch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bni5VQkBAw7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=174eiumnsn1pq
