Kungekudala, i-Starz iya kuqala ukubonakalisa ixesha lonyaka ezimbini Inkosazana yaseSpain , ebonisa umdlalo wobomi bukaCatherine waseAragon. Kwaye ngelixa ndingenangqondo ukuba sisafumana enye idrama yexesha malunga neeTudors, ndinqwenela ukuba abenzi bethelevishini, kunye nabantu abaqhelekileyo abanomdla kwimbali yesiNgesi, baqhubeke ngakumbi. Zininzi ezinye izinto ezimangalisayo kwimbali yesiNgesi, kwaye omnye wabalinganiswa abanomdla osuka kwelinye lala maxesha UKumkanikazi uMatilda , Umfazi wokuqala ukuzama ukubanga isithsaba sesiNgesi.
UMatilda, okwabizwa ngokuba nguMaud, wayeyintombi kaKumkani uHenry I waseNgilani, owayengunyana wesine kaWilliam uMoyisi. Ubomi bakhe babumangalisa, kwaye ungquzulwano lwamaNgesi olwaluthathe inxaxheba, olubizwa ngokuba yiThe Anarchy, yayilixesha elinomdla kwimbali.
UMatilda wazalwa ngo-1102, kwiminyaka nje emibini kulawulo lukayise. Ubomi bukaMatilda babumangalisa kwasekuqaleni. Ayisiyo kuphela intombi yokumkani kunye nodade woKumkani wexesha elizayo, uWilliam, kodwa wayezibandakanya esemncinci kwaye watshata noMlawuli oyiNgcwele oyiRoma uHenry V. Wayethunyelwe eJamani njengenxalenye yokuganana kwakhe noHenry xa wayelilungisa iminyaka esibhozo ubudala , xa uHenry wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabini anesine! Xa wabetha iminyaka elishumi elinambini batshata ngokusemthethweni kwaye wathweswa isithsaba sobuKumkanikazi
Xa uMatilda wayeneminyaka engama-23 kuphela, uHenry wabulawa ngumhlaza. Ngelo xesha uMatilda ngobuchwephesha wayeka ukuba yiKumkanikazi, kodwa… sisihloko esihle, ke waxhoma kuso. Ngeli xesha wayesele esebenza njenge-regent, wayenesihlalo kwiingcebiso ezibalulekileyo, kwaye wahamba nomyeni wakhe ngaphesheya kweYurophu. Oku kwakubalulekile kuba kwiminyaka emihlanu ngaphambili, ngo-1120, uWilliam, umntakwabo Matilda, kunye nendlalifa yesihlalo sobukhosi saseNgilani babhubhe kwiThe White Ship, intlekele yaselwandle. Ngo-1125, emva kokubanjwa okuthile, uMatilda waye wagqalwa njengendlalifa kaHenry II.
Kodwa kwakungazukuba lula. UMatilda watshata uGeoffrey waseAnjou, owaziwa njengoGeoffrey Plantagenet, awayengamthandi ekuqaleni. Kodwa… ezopolitiko. Emva koxinzelelo kutata wakhe, naye ekugqibeleni waba nabantwana. Kuqala kwafika uHenry, emva koko kwangena unyana wakhe wesibini, uGeoffrey, ozelwe ephantse wambulala uMatilda. Kodwa wasinda, nanjengoko ubudlelwane bakhe noyise babuyela eNgilani baba buthathaka.
UGeoffrey noMatilda babephuma noHenry I xa wasweleka ngo-1135, kwaye ke kwalandela ingxaki yokulandelelana. Itrone kufanele ukuba ibe ngamalungelo aye kuMatilda, kunye noGeoffrey. AmaNgesi awazange ayithande le ngcamango kwaye ke bathanda ukulandelelana kukaStephen waseBlois, umzala kaMatilda ngodadewabo kayise. Wayeyindlalifa eyindoda kuWilliam uMoyisi, kwaye wafika naseLondon wayifumana inkxaso yeNkosi kuqala, ke ngoko wathweswa isithsaba sobuKumkani.
Kodwa yayingekapheli. UMatilda, uGeoffrey, kunye URobert waseGloucester , Umntakwabo kaMatilda (uHenry ndineenkosi ezininzi kunye nezingane), ezidibeneyo. Ngo-1138 uRobert wakhokela kwimvukelo kwaye wabhengeza uMatilda, kwaye waqala into ekubhekiswa kuyo Uqhushululu. Nangona le mfazwe yokulandelelana yayingeyonto imbi kakhulu kunenye yezinye iingxabano (kwaye zazininzi) iyakwenza igama elihle kumdlalo weTV.
Impixano phakathi kukaMatilda noStephen yaqhubeka iminyaka, kunye nethuba lokuya ngapha nangapha phakathi kwabo. Ngaxa lithile ngo-1141, uStephen wabanjwa, abefundisi babhengeza ukuba ngukumkanikazi uMatilda kwaye waya eLondon ukuze abekwe isithsaba… kodwa ke wagxothwa kuba kungekho mntu wayemthanda kakhulu eLondon. Wayephantse wabanjwa kwaye uRobert waseGloucester wabanjwa. Amabanjwa atshintshiselana, ooKumkani bathinjwa baza balahleka… konke oko kwakumangalisa kakhulu, kwathi ngo-1148 uMatilda wabuya umva ebuyela eNormandy, eyayithinjwe nguGeoffrey.
Ngo-1151 uGeoffrey wasweleka, esenza unyana wakhe noMatilda, uHenry Plantagenet, umlawuli waseNormandy noAnjou. Watshata nowayesakuba ngumfazi wenkosi yaseFrance, umfazi osenokuba ukhe weva ngaye kuthiwa ngu-Eleanor wase-Aquitane. UHenry, ke ngoko, walawula u-Aquitaine kwaye wenza inkalipho yokuya eNgilane kwaye wenza uStephen amamkele njengendlalifa. Wenze. Oko kwasebenza njengoko uStephen waswelekayo ngo-1154 kwaye uHenry wamlandela njengoHenry II.
UMatilda akazange afumane isithsaba saseNgilani, kodwa wabona unyana wakhe esiba ngumlawuli woBukhosi bakhe, uBukhosi buka-Angevin, kunye nomseki wobukhosi obunamandla. UMatilda wahlala eNormandy, wayilawula kakhulu de kwasekufeni kwakhe eneminyaka engama-65.
Ubomi bukaMatilda babuyimbalasane, kwaye kukho iqhinga elaneleyo kunye nomdlalo weqonga apha wokugcwalisa amaxabiso exesha. Kukho ukungavisisani neCawe, iindlalifa ezingekho mthethweni, abafazi abanamandla, ukungcatsha, kunye neemfazwe. Inxalenye etyebileyo kwaye iyamangalisa ngembali, enabalinganiswa abaziwayo kunye nabanye abalibaleke kakhulu, kwaye iyakwenza umabonakude omkhulu kangaka (hayi umboniso bhanyabhanya, kukho ibali elininzi kakhulu). Ide iwele kanye phakathi kwamaxesha amabini athe afumana unyango kumabonakude, ukuhlanganiswa kweNgilani kubonwe kuyo Ubukumkani bokugqibela kunye neMfazwe yaseRos, njengoko sibonile Ukumkanikazi omhlophe .
Ke yiya kule, Hollywood. Okanye ndibize. Ndinezimvo.
