What evidence is there relating to Matilda of Scotland as a wife (to Henry I) and mother (to Empress Matilda and William the Adelin)?

score:5

I wrote a biographical study of Matilda of Scotland some years back, and in that book I discuss all the evidence from the primary sources about Matilda's relationship with her son and her role in raising and educating her children. There isn't that much that can be known, but there are a few mentions of her doing things like taking William to visit Merton Priory, hoping that his happy memories of playing there as a child would induce him to be a lifelong patron.

In another article I wrote, "Public Lives, Private Ties: Royal Mothers in England and Scotland, 1070-1204" (Published in Medieval Mothering, Routeldge, 1996, pp295-312), I discuss Matilda as a mother along with her own mother Queen Margaret, and other royal mothers of the era.
