30,1) Queen of England, Matilda of Frisia, 1031 to 1060
Matilda of Frisia, Queen of France, was born in the early 11th century into the noble house of Frisia, a coastal region in modern-day Netherlands. As the daughter of Liudolf, Margrave of Frisia, Matilda was raised in a politically influential family, well-versed in governance and the expectations of nobility. Her life took a transformative turn in 1034 when she married King Henry I of France, cementing an alliance between the Frankish kingdom and Frisia. This union marked her entry into the complex and often treacherous world of medieval European politics.
As queen, Matilda faced the dual challenges of navigating court intrigue and fulfilling her role as a stabilizing figure in a kingdom marked by internal strife. France during this period was a patchwork of semi-autonomous regions govern...

Philip II of Spain
Philip II (Spanish: Felipe II; 21 May 1527 – 13 September 1598) was King of Spain (second Philip to Castille, first to Aragon and the fourth to Navarre) from 1556 and of Portugal from 1581 (as Philip I, Filipe I).

Australia, New Zealand and the USA were discovered by Europe due to the Fall of the Roman Empire
The history of Australia is really the story of the modern world. Instead of being an outpost of British criminals dumped on the far side of the world - the history of the Botany Bay colony and how the West explored this odd continent is actually linked to almost every major historical occurrence since of the fall of the Roman Empire

05 - Welcome to Family Feudalism
The disintegration of Charlemagne’s empire at the end of the 9th century left the lowlands part of a larger entity, Lotharingia, wedged between two much more powerful kingdoms, East and West Francia. If you were an ambitious noble, controlling one of the many small, swampy territories and you wished to move yourself up into a more prominent position, what would you do? Well, what lots of them chose to do was switch allegiances to and fro between the great powers on either side whenever they deemed it politically necessary and beneficial to do so. Welcome to Family Feudalism!

Matilda of Frisia, Queen of France, was born in the early 11th century into the noble house of Frisia, a coastal region in modern-day Netherlands. As the daughter of Liudolf, Margrave of Frisia, Matilda was raised in a politically influential family, well-versed in governance and the expectations of nobility. Her life took a transformative turn in 1034 when she married King Henry I of France, cementing an alliance between the Frankish kingdom and Frisia. This union marked her entry into the complex and often treacherous world of medieval European politics.
As queen, Matilda faced the dual challenges of navigating court intrigue and fulfilling her role as a stabilizing figure in a kingdom marked by internal strife. France during this period was a patchwork of semi-autonomous regions governed by powerful lords, whose loyalty to the crown was tenuous at best. Henry’s reign was characterized by struggles to assert royal authority, and Matilda supported her husband in his efforts to maintain the fragile unity of his kingdom. Though their marriage was primarily political, historical accounts suggest that Matilda’s wisdom and steadfastness made her an invaluable partner to Henry.
In 1039, Matilda gave birth to their son, Philip, a moment of joy and hope for the royal couple. The birth of an heir secured the Capetian line and was celebrated throughout the realm. Tragically, their joy was short-lived. Philip died in his early childhood, an event that devastated Matilda. Despite her grief, she continued to fulfill her royal duties, finding solace in faith and charity. Her involvement in supporting monastic communities and encouraging education demonstrated her commitment to the welfare of her people.
Matilda’s time as queen was marked not only by personal loss but also by her diplomatic acumen. She played a crucial role in fostering alliances and ensuring stability within the court. Her presence provided Henry with a reliable ally in a world where loyalties were often fleeting. She was known for her intelligence, grace, and quiet strength, qualities that earned her the respect of her contemporaries.
In 1060, the death of King Henry I left their surviving son, Philip I, as a child king. Matilda took on the critical role of regent, guiding the young monarch during the early years of his reign. Her experience and wisdom were instrumental in maintaining the continuity of the Capetian dynasty. Matilda’s later years were dedicated to ensuring a stable transition of power and safeguarding her son’s inheritance.
Matilda of Frisia’s legacy is one of resilience, compassion, and dedication. As queen, she navigated the turbulence of medieval politics while embodying the virtues of a monarch who served both her family and her people. Though her life was marked by tragedy, her influence endured through the stability she brought to the Capetian line and the example she set as a woman of strength and character in a male-dominated era.

SUMMARY
=======
Pope Damasus II (; died 9 August 1048), born Poppo de' Curagnoni, was Pope from 17 July 1048 to his death on 9 August that same year. He was the second of the German pontiffs nominated by Emperor Henry III. A native of Bavaria, he was the third German to become Pope and had one of the shortest papal reigns.Upon the death of Clement II, envoys from Rome were sent to the Emperor to ascertain who should be named pope. Henry named the Bishop of Brixen, Poppo de' Curagnoni. While the envoys were away, former pope Benedict IX reasserted himself and with the assistance of the disaffected Margrave of Tuscany once again assumed the papacy. Henry ordered Margrave Boniface to escort Bishop Poppo to Rome, but Boniface declined, pointing out that the Romans had already enthroned Benedict. Enraged, the Emperor ordered the Margrave to depose Benedict or suffer the consequences. Poppo became Pope in mid-July but died of malaria less than a month later, in Palestrina, where he had gone to avoid the heat of the city.

Henry ordered Margrave Boniface to escort Bishop Poppo to Rome, but Boniface declined, pointing out that the Romans had already enthroned Benedict. Enraged, the Emperor ordered the Margrave to depose Benedict or suffer the consequences. Poppo became Pope in mid-July but died of malaria less than a month later, in Palestrina, where he had gone to avoid the heat of the city.

Philip II (Spanish: Felipe II; 21 May 1527 – 13 September 1598) was King of Spain (second Philip to Castille, first to Aragon and the fourth to Navarre) from 1556 and of Portugal from 1581 (as Philip I, Filipe I). From 1554 he was King of Naples and Sicily as well as Duke of Milan. During his marriage to Queen Mary I (1554–58), he was also Prince Consort of England and Ireland. From 1555, he was lord of the Seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands. Known in Spanish as "Philip the Prudent" (Felipe el Prudente), his empire included territories on every continent then known to Europeans, including his namesake Philippine Islands. During his reign, Spain reached the height of its influence and power. The expression "The empire on which the sun never sets" was coined during Philip's time to reflect the extent of his possessions.
During Philip's reign there were separate state bankruptcies in 1557, 1560, 1569, 1575, and 1596. This was partly the cause for the declaration of independence which created the Dutch Republic in 1581. A devout Catholic, Philip is also known for organizing a huge naval expedition against Protestant England in 1588, known usually as the Spanish Armada, which was unsuccessful, partly due to storms and grave logistical problems.

The history of Australia is really the story of the modern world. Instead of being an outpost of British criminals dumped on the far side of the world - the history of the Botany Bay colony and how the West explored this odd continent is actually linked to almost every major historical occurrence since of the fall of the Roman Empire

The disintegration of Charlemagne’s empire at the end of the 9th century left the lowlands part of a larger entity, Lotharingia, wedged between two much more powerful kingdoms, East and West Francia. If you were an ambitious noble, controlling one of the many small, swampy territories and you wished to move yourself up into a more prominent position, what would you do? Well, what lots of them chose to do was switch allegiances to and fro between the great powers on either side whenever they deemed it politically necessary and beneficial to do so.
