EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of medieval British history, Empress Matilda, also known as Maud or Matilda of Anjou, is depicted in her daring escape from Oxford Castle in the winter of 1142. Daughter of King Henry I of England, Matilda was a central figure in the power struggle known as The Anarchy, a period of civil war following Henry's death. After her father's demise, Matilda laid claim to the English throne, but was imprisoned by her cousin, Stephen of Blois, who had seized the crown for himself. The scene unfolds under the watchful gaze of a full moon, casting an ethereal glow over the icy landscape. Matilda, dressed in pristine white clothing, braves the frigid conditions to make her daring escape from Oxford Castle. With determination in her eyes and resolve in her heart, she navigates the treacherous ice and snow, making her way towards the safety of Wallingford Castle in Oxon. Stephen, portrayed as a stern and imposing figure, stands in the background, seemingly oblivious to the escape unfolding before him. The castle, with its imposing towers and fortified walls, looms ominously against the night sky, a stark reminder of the political turmoil that gripped Britain during this period. This historical event, which took place in the winter of 1142, is a testament to Matilda's courage and determination in the face of adversity. Her escape from Oxford Castle marked a turning point in The Anarchy, as it boosted her morale and that of her supporters, ultimately leading to her eventual victory and the recognition of her as Queen of England. This image, brought to us by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British history, transporting us back to a time of political intrigue, power struggles, and daring escapes.
