Biography

Mathilde of England was born about 1070. She passed away about 1143.

In 1095, Guigues III Count of Albon contracted an exemplary marriage with the high-born Matilda, long thought to be the daughter of Edgar the Aetheling, and who may have been a daughter of Roger I of Sicily and his third wife, Adelaide del Vasto. Patrick Deret, however, alleges, on the basis of possible birth dates, that her mother must have been Roger's second wife, Eremburga of Mortain.[1]

Research Notes

Mathilde has previously been shown on WikiTree as daughter of Edgar Ætheling. As explained above, this is considered unlikely and she has been detached. There is no reliable source for Edgar having any children.
