Matilda of Franconia

Matilda of Franconia (c. 1027[1] – 1034) was a daughter of Emperor Conrad II and Gisela of Swabia from the Salian dynasty.

[2] Matilda’s elder brother was Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor.

At a meeting with King Henry I of France in Deville in Lorraine in May 1033, Conrad agreed to marry five-year-old Matilda to Henry.

[2] Her marriage was arranged to confirm a peace compact agreed between Henry and Conrad.

Conrad’s chaplain Wipo of Burgundy mentioned Matilda as filia imperatoris Chuonradi et Giselæ, Mahthilda.
