Matilda of Frisia (died in 1044) was Queen of the Franks as the first wife[2] of Henry I.[3][4] Her date of birth is unknown.
She was the daughter of Liudolf, Margrave of Frisia,[5] and Gertrude of Egisheim.
Matilda and Henry were married in 1034 after the death of his fiancée Matilda of Franconia.
Around 1040, Matilda of Frisia gave birth to a daughter via Caesarian section,[citation needed], but four years later in 1044 both she and her daughter died only weeks apart.[6] Matilda was buried in St Denis Abbey, but her tomb is not preserved.
Henry married Anne of Kiev after her death.[4]
