Born
in 1102 to King Henry of England and Queen Matilda of Scotland,
Matilda's uniquely royal Norman, Saxon, and Scottish heritage was
meant to unify an England still divided by her grandfather's conquest
in 1066. When the 1120 White Ship Disaster made her the only
surviving child of her parents, Matilda suddenly became heiress to
the English throne in a time when the old Saxon Witan, not the king's
Will, still decided the succession.

Hypatia
of Alexandria
The
Legendary Women of World History Book 8
105
pages
As
the western world fell into darkness, she dared defend the
light.
Born in 355 CE in the aftermath of Constantine's reign, Hypatia of Alexandria lived in a collapsing Roman Empire, a world where obedience to religious authorities trumped science, where reason and logic threatened the new world order. It was a world on the edge of the Dark Ages, a world deciding the question of science verses religion, freedom verses orthodoxy, tolerance verses hate.
For over 40 years, Hypatia stood between the dark ages and the light of classical philosophy, arts, and sciences. Though none of her books survived the aggressive book burnings of religious zealots, her legacy remains that of one of the greatest scientists of all time.
This is her fascinating true story.
