The Tearoom

Hello all, I know it has been an awfully long time since I last posted, but this month I intend {ed} to parse out some time for blogging as a sort of birthday present to myself {she says more than half way through the month} .  Anyway, when I saw this tag I just couldn't pass it up, being named for a medieval queen myself.  I found this tag in a post by Livia Rose @ Rosepetalsandfairydust Also, some of the prompts require me to reveal elements of the books, and others require my opinion: please read with caution.  I try to avoid details, but I don't want to spoil any part of the story for anyone. Empress Matilda (1102-1167) After her father, Henry I, died naming her his heir, Matilda’s cousin, Stephen, subsequently took the throne for himself. Matilda never stopped fighting for what was rightfully hers. Though she would never be named Queen of England in her own right, she was able to convince Stephen to name her son, the future Henry II, his successor over his own children. C
