#09: Medieval Women. The career of Empress Matilda - with Prof. Elisabeth van Houts Schnack von gestern

Few medieval women had a more varied career than the English princess Matilda: Crowned queen of Germany when still a girl, she acted on behalf of her husband as regent and judge in Italy and would eventually claim the crown of England for herself.
Professor Elisabeth van Houts (Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge) takes us along for a journey into the Middle Aged to learn about the unique set of challenges that medieval women had to overcome when carving out power and authority for themselves.
