Answer 2

There were several Queens, Countesses, Noblewomen of various ranks bearing this name- and NONE of them had any connection with Australia- locale of the famous song- Waltzing Matilda. In French it is Mathilde, and the name implies as sort of female warrior-knight ( there were quite a few of these long before Jeanne D"arc). There was some rhyme or something that went not to bother, but Queen Mathilde, Died in the Field- was buried in her armor- but this could be straight-out fiction or rhyming sland. Countess Matilda of Tuscany- who did see field actions! died of natural causes and having ecclesiastical approval, was buried in a number of churches- currently in the the Vatican.
