The Accomplishments Of Empress Matilda
Empress Matilda was born around February 1102, no one really know the exact date. Not much of her childhood is known, although when she was around the age of seven she already was told she was going to be the bride of King Henry V, and when she did get married she was very loyal, faithful, and fulfilled most of the duties she had as a wife and an Empress. The one duty she failed to fulfill was the duty of having children. Although some historians say she had one child but they dies at a very very young age, this cannot be fully proven. Besides these devastating issues her younger brother dies in a sinking ship in 1120, then her husband died in 1125.
After her husband’s death, her father told her to bring him back home. On Christmas of 1126,

    I think this quote means that she is really happy that her father is all finished with what he was doing, so now she can go back to her home. Although, she did have fun in the last month of their stay because of all the slumber parties that were thrown in her honor, yet she is still happy to be going home. Even though in the book she did say "This avalanche of kindness did not make it any easier." Also, everyone wanted to know when she was coming back. But they did not have an answer, but they did…

    Empress Theodora Feminist

    • 440 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Empress Theodora was one of the most influential women of her time. Her husband, Emperor Justinian I, listened to her advice regarding political decisions in the empire. She essentially co-ruled with Justinian, aiding in the rights for women by outlining their rights and expanding upon them. In this way, she was somewhat like an early feminist. During her service to her country as empress, Theodora protected the rights of the serfs and poor. She attended to the rights of prostitutes in particular by closing brothels, creating safe spaces for women, and passing laws to prohibit forced prostitution (presently known as rape). Additionally, she passed laws that expanded the rights of women in divorce and redacted an unfair law that had allowed women to be put to death for committing adultery. Finally, she protected persecuted Monophysites, building churches that served as refuges.…

    The beautiful, elegant, and powerful Empress Theodora has left her purple and her post after her battle with death. She has left our Empire and has gone to the heavens where she may live in peace after passionately defending and protecting our Empire. Our Empress Theodora started out as nothing but a mere actress and prostitute. Then our beloved Empress rose in political power and married Emperor Justinian. Some people called our Empress lazy and a burden, but she wasn’t close to that. She was the empress that defended and protected our nation, and influenced Emperor Justinian into keep our nation during the Nika Revolt! She was the empress who wouldn’t leave her purple and her people no matter what! She is the empress who would be the role model for future empresses! Now that our Empress has deceased she will still be respected and will be learned about for generations to come. Also, we can’t forget our Empress’s accomplishments during her years in power. Firstly, she has given women more rights than any other civilization. She gave women the power to own land and she allowed widowed women to take income from land to pay for children needs. She also has influenced our Emperor to stay during the Nika Revolt, and take care of our Empire. Lastly, our Empress had laws expanded to protect the Monophysites, and prostitutes so they could start their lives anew. Monophysitism was a form of Christianity that believed that women should have more rights. Our Empress was the most important out of other empresses due to her influence and her outstanding accomplishments. In all, our Empress has accomplished more than any other empress achieved and without Empress Theodora the Byzantine Empire would have fallen long ago.…

When she was taught to dance it helped develop her natural poise, which she is most known for. Deportment was important for queens.
