A talk by Tim Owen, Chair of Steventon Historical Society.

Maud is a version of the name Matilda. This is about 3 powerful women in the time of the Anarchy – the civil war in England c, 1135 – 54.
Tim is keeping the identity of the 3 Mauds secret for now, but the picture above may reveal one of them.
Tim graduated in Historical Geography; his interest in this period was sparked while teaching. He is an historian, author, public speaker and battlefield tour guide with a flair for the dramatic. Chair of the Steventon Historical Society, he has written novels about Gilles de Bec, and signed copies of Gilles of Bec and The Cage Full of Birds @£11.99 will be available at the talk.
(Matilda means “mighty in battle” in Old German. I know this because it is my middle name! JMC)
