Matilda was the daughter of King Henry I. When King Henry I died, Matilda was his only surviving heir (his other children had died earlier on). Matilda was supposed to be the Queen of England but refused to be crowned because she thought it would lower her dignity as all the previous Queens had only been named Queen because they were married to a king. She said that she was to be called 'the lady of the english'. Matilda ruled England for a few months until her cousin Stephen Blois took the throne from her and was named King Stephen of England.

The main idea of "Matilda" by Roald Dahl is resilience and the power of intelligence and kindness. The book follows a young girl named Matilda who uses her intelligence and determination to overcome adversity and stand up to injustice, ultimately finding a sense of belonging and empowerment.
