Daughter of Henry I who fought Stephen for the English throne (7)

I believe the answer is:

matilda

(Other definitions for matilda that I've seen before include "Waltzing girl" , "would go around with a swagger" , "12th century English empress" , "Children's book" , "William I's wife" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
