Title of Nobility
Duchess of Saxony
Countess or Queen
German queen (Queen of the Franks) by her marriage to Henry the Fowler, the first king of the Ottonian dynasty
from 919
Custom Fact
Matilda of Ringelheim
Her surname refers to Ringelheim, where her comital Immedinger relatives established a nunnery about 940.
She was the daughter of the local count Dietrich and his wife Reinhild, a noblewoman of Danish and Frisian descent.
Matilda's biographers traced her ancestry back to the legendary Saxon leader Widukind (c. 730 – 807), who presumably was buried in the Enger church. Her sister Frederuna married Count Wichmann the Elder, a member of the Billung dynasty.
The details of St. Matilda's life come primarily from brief mentions in the "Res gestae saxonicae" by the monastic historian Widukind of Corvey (c. 925–after 973), and from two hagiographies:
the "Vita antiquior," written about 974, and "Vita posterior," circa 1003.
As a young girl she was sent to Herford Abbey, where her grandmother Matilda was abbess and where her reputation for beauty and virtue - and possibly also her extensive Westphalian dowry
– is said to have attracted the attention of the Saxon duke Otto the Illustrious, who betrothed her to his son and heir, Henry, about 20 years her senior. By the conjugal union, the Ottonian dynasty (Liudolfings) considerably enlarged their possessions in the western parts of Saxony. Henry's previous marriage with Hatheburg of Merseburg was annulled.They were married at the Pfalz of Wallhausen in 909 (or 913).

Legend
According to legend, when Duke William of Normandy sent his representative to ask for Matilda's hand in marriage, she told the representative that she was far too high-born to consider marrying a bastard.[a] After hearing this response, William rode from Normandy to Bruges, found Matilda on her way to church, dragged her off her horse by her long braids, threw her down in the street in front of her flabbergasted attendants and rode off. Another version of the story states that William rode to Matilda's father's house in Lille, threw her to the ground in her room (again, by her braids), and hit her (or violently battered her) before leaving.
