The fact that she's a woman attracts no comment and she will go on to reign over us for six decades. But England's queens haven't always been greeted with such adoration, and throughout our history, women and power have made an uneasy combination. 800 years earlier, another female heir to the throne came to Westminster for her coronation. She wasn't met by cheering crowds. Instead, she was chased away from the capital by an angry mob. Her name was Matilda, the first woman to make a claim to the English crown in her own right. But 800 years ago, power was inescapably male. There was no question in the medieval world - men ruled and women didn't.1953年，一场万众期待的加冕礼，不过将要加冕的是位年轻的女王，周围听到的都是欢呼的呐喊。事实上，没有人对她的加冕抱有非议，而她在今后的日子里将会统治我们长达60年之久。不过英格兰的女王并不总能得到这般礼遇。纵观整个历史，女人和权利的组合，总会让人惶惶不安。800年前，一个女主储来到西敏寺，出席她的加冕礼，迎接她的不是欢呼的人群。相反，愤怒的暴民把她驱逐出首都。她的名字是玛蒂尔达，她是第一个宣称自己有权利成为英格兰君主的女人。但是在800年前，男性才是权力的主人，这在中世纪无人质疑，男人统治，女人服从。
