SEASON 5: The Norman Conquest of England
Miniseries: Matilda of Flanders
EPISODE 80: Behind Every Great Man, Pt. 3
William wins England—but Matilda gets the real prize: revenge. While her husband claims the throne across the Channel, Matilda proves she's far more than a passive consort. She handles old scores with chilling grace and sets the tone for what it means to be a duchess in full command. One wears the crown. The other wears the smirk.
