Mathilde of Angoulême (also Mahaut; after marriage Taillifer) (1181–1233) was the sole 
daughter of Wulgrin III, Count of Angoulême. After the death of her father, the title 
passed to her uncle, William VII of Angoulême. After her marriage to Hugh IX of 
Lusignan, she became his consort, and the centre of the dynastic struggle between 
the Kings of England and France, after the death of Aymer of Angoulême. The defeat 
of John of England, ensured that the title passed to the House of Lusignan, eventually 
falling to the House of Valois and to the crown of France.

Her descendents remained prominent on both sides of the Channel, marrying into the 
Earls of Surrey, Arundel, and finally Kent where they inherited a claim to the English 
crown through Joan, Countess of Kent, daughter of Edward I of England.
[birthdate of 1181 is too late for being mother of Hugh X born 1183 or, more likely, 
1195]
