Career
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. However, before she could marry, she died in early 1034.
Her marriage was arranged to confirm a peace compact agreed between Henry and Conrad.
She was buried in Worms Cathedral. Conrad’s chaplain Wipo of Burgundy mentioned Matilda as “filia imperatoris Chuonradi et Giselæ, Mahthilda”.
