"Medieval queens were the keepers of family lineage and history. Matilda was carefully instructed in the importance of her royal lineage and thoroughly understood its importance. She therefore understood the necessity of proclaiming William’s lineage.

By naming William’s flagship the “Mora”, Matilda chose a name that boldly proclaimed William’s regal lineage through his Nordic ancestry. The Yngling line of Swedish and Norwegian kings and the Skiddung line of Danish kings traced their ancestry back to Odin. Because of its proximity with the temple of Uppsala sacred to Thor, Freyr, and Odin, the king crowned at the Mora Stone held preeminence among the early Nordic peoples, long before they were clearly divided into three separate kingdoms.

With their intertwined history, all Norsemen —Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians—held the Mora Stone sacred. By choosing “Mora” for the name of William’s flagship, Matilda proclaimed that William’s royal Nordic bloodline was equal to that of any ruling Nordic king and part of the lineage of England’s kings."
