Adelaide de Angers (Possibly Empress Mathilda)

Matilda was born Adelaide

There is confusion about who Adelaide de Angers was. It is possible that it was Mathilda.

From Medlands

According to Weir[144], she (Matilda) was christened Adelaide but adopted the name Matilda on her first marriage. The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.
