According to some accounts, Matilda was named Alice at birth, but her father Henry I changed her name to honour her mother, Matilda of Scotland (who had herself changed her name to honour Henry's mother).
Matilda's marriage to Geoffrey was mostly stormy. In 1131, three years after they married, Matilda returned to her father, Henry I. Then, according to Henry of Huntingdon, she was sent back to Geoffrey "and given a reception fitting for such a virago."
According to some sources, Matilda died in 1169.
Portrayed by Martita Hunt in the 1964 film, "Becket."
Portrayed by Brenda Bruce in the 1978 BBC-2 series, "The Devil's Crown."
