About this listen

The saga continues as Charlie Higson brings you the story of Stephen & Matilda.


When Henry I died, the crown should have fallen to his daughter, the Empress Matilda.

BUT

Stephen of Blois got there first to claim the crown and together with his wife, a different Matilda, Matilda of Boulogne.....it all went horribly wrong as you'll hear.


Charlie's proper historian guest is Cath Hanley author of Matilda: Empress, Queen, Warrior.


And remember, Willie Willie Harry Stee, the book of the podcast, is out now, so you can read about Henry as well as listen!
