So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - The Empress Matilda hears the plea of Matilda of Boulogne, wife of Stephen of Blois who had usurped England's throne and whom the Empress' forces had captured. When the son of Henry I, Duke of Normandy and King of England and son of William the Conqueror, died, Henry named his only surviving child, Matilda, as his heir. Matilda was the widow of Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, thus she was known as the Empress Matilda (Maud). When Henry I died, his sister's son, Stephen of Blois, beat Matilda back to England and had himself crowned instead of Matilda. Stephen was married to a different Matilda, who was countess of Boulogne in her own right, called Matilda of Boulogne. This picture is an artist's conception of a moment during the long war that ensued between the forces of the Empress Matilda and her cousin, Stephen of Blois, for control of the crown of England. The Empress had captured Stephen, then Matilda of Boulogne had raised forces against the Empress and captured her half-brother (an illegitimate son of Henry I), Robert of Gloucester, who was also the leader of the Empress' forces. Matilda of Boulogne then negotiated a trade: Stephen for Robert. This picture depicts the plea of Matilda of Boulogne for the release of her husband, Stephen of Blois. When the Empress made that trade, the tide of the war turned against her, and she was never crowned queen.
MATHILDE de Boulogne ([1103/05]-Hedingham Castle, Essex 2/3 or 30 May or 3 Jul 1151, bur Faversham Abbey, Kent). Her parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[568]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names Mathilde daughter of "Eustachius, frater Balduini regis Iheruslame" and his wife "Mariam filiam regis Scotiæ", also recording her marriage with "Stephano, filio Stephani Blesensis comitis"[569]. She succeeded her father as Ctss de Boulogne. "Stephanus comes Bolonie et Morethonii et Mathildis comitissa" confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Samer by charter dated 1141 (presumably misdated because of the donors´ titles), subscribed by "…Eustachius de Fielnes, Willelmus et Rogerus fratres sui…"[570]. She was crowned Queen Consort of England at Westminster Abbey 22 Mar 1136. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1152 of "Matildis uxor Stephani regis Anglorum" and in a later passage her burial "in monasterio Fasseham", recording that she had founded the abbey[571]. m ([1124/25]) ETIENNE de Blois Comte de Mortain, son of ETIENNE Comte de Blois & his wife Adela of England (Blois [1096/97]-Dover 25 Oct 1154, bur Faversham Abbey, Kent). Comte de Boulogne, in right of his wife, before 1125. He succeeded 22 Dec 1135 as STEPHEN King of England, crowned at Westminster Abbey 26 Dec 1135. His first cousin Matilda Lady of the English, daughter of Henry I King of England, disputed Stephen’s accession. During the ensuing civil war in England, Stephen was deposed and imprisoned by Matilda 7-10 April 1141, but restored to the throne 1 Nov 1141. He was crowned a second time at Canterbury Cathedral 1141, and a third time at Lincoln Cathedral 1146.
