=MATILDA, COUNTESS OF TUSCANY= MRS. MARY E. HUDDY. Demy 8vo., with
Illustrations, =12s.= net.
In these picturesque pages we have, in a manner, the processional
march of the early Norman soldier settlers in the land of the Olive,
and we have also the extraordinary career set forth in that heroic
daughter of the Roman Church, Matilda, the great Countess of
Tuscany, who devoted her whole life and vast fortune to sustaining
against all comers the temporal rights of Holy Mother Church. Pope
Gregory the Seventh, Godfrey, the Hunchback Duke, and Henry IV., the
ambitious German Emperor, and many other famous characters, move
across these vivid pages in their habits and as they really lived.
No life of the Great Countess, Matilda of Tuscany, has yet appeared
in this country.
