Text: The Cathedral of St Peter (German: Wormser Dom) is a church in Worms, southern Germany. It was the seat of the Catholic Prince-Bishopric of Worms until its extinction in 1800.
It is a basilica with four round towers, two large domes, and a choir at each end. The interior is built in red sandstone. Today, the Wormser Dom is a Catholic parish church, honoured with the title of "Basilica minor".
Only the ground plan and the lower part of the western towers belong to the original building consecrated in 1110. The remainder was mostly finished by 1181, but the west choir and the vaulting were built in the 13th century, the elaborate south portal was added in the 14th century, and the central dome has been rebuilt.
The ornamentation of the older parts is simple; even the more elaborate later forms show no high development of workmanship. Unique sculptures depicting salvation stories appear above the Gothic-era south doorway. The baptismal font contains five remarkable stone reliefs from the late 15th century. The church's original windows were destroyed by bombing in 1943; between 1965 to 1995 new windows were made by Mainz artist Alois Plum.
The cathedral is 110 m long, and 27 m wide, or, including the transepts, which are near the west end, 36 m (inner measurements). The height in the nave is 26 m; under the domes it is 40 m.

At a meeting with King Henry I of France in Deville in Lorraine in May 1033, Conrad agreed to marry five year old Matilda to Henry.[3] However, before she could marry, she died in early 1034. Her marriage was arranged to confirm a peace compact agreed between Henry and Conrad.
She was buried in Worms Cathedral.
Conrad’s chaplain Wipo of Burgundy mentioned Matilda as “filia imperatoris Chuonradi et Giselæ, Mahthilda”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_of_Franconia

Text: Matilda of Frisia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matilda of Frisia (c. 1024–1044) was the second wife and first Queen of Henry I, King of the Franks.[1] Her date of birth is unknown.
She was presumably the daughter of Liudolf, Margrave of Frisia, from House Brunonen and Gertrude of Egisheim. This ancestry is not confirmed by historical sources but can be reconstructed from multiple records mentioning Matilda as neptis (Latin: granddaughter) of Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor; the latter being a half-brother of Liudolf and therefore her uncle. In this case, her maternal ancestry would also make her a niece of bishop Bruno of Egisheim-Dagsburg who was elected Pope Leo IX in 1049.
Matilda and Henry were married in 1034 after the death of his first wife, also named Matilda, daughter of the Emperor Conrad II. Their marriage was arranged by Conrad during a meeting in Yvois. At the time of her wedding, Matilda was only aged ten but there is no doubt that the marriage was consummated very soon afterwards. Around 1040, she gave birth to a daughter, but both mother and daughter died shortly after each other in 1044. Matilda was buried in St Denis Abbey but her tomb is not preserved.
Henry married Anne of Kiev after her death.[1]
