query: Empress Matilda married Holy Roman Emperor Henry V.

pos: Empress Matilda Empress Matilda ( c. 7 February 110210 September 1167 ) , also known as the Empress Maude , was the claimant to the English throne during the civil war known as the Anarchy . The daughter of King Henry I of England , she moved to Germany as a child when she married the future Holy Roman Emperor Henry V . She travelled with her husband into Italy in 1116 , was controversially crowned in St. Peter 's Basilica , and acted as the imperial regent in Italy . Matilda and Henry had no children , and when Henry died in 1125 , the crown was claimed by Lothair II , one of his political enemies .   Meanwhile , Matilda 's younger brother , William Adelin , died in the White Ship disaster of 1120 , leaving England facing a potential succession crisis . On Henry V 's death , Matilda was recalled to Normandy by her father , who arranged for her to marry Geoffrey of Anjou to form an alliance to protect his southern borders . Henry I had no further legitimate children and nominated Matilda as his heir , making his court swear an oath of loyalty to her and her successors , but the decision was not popular in the Anglo-Norman court . Henry died in 1135 but Matilda and Geoffrey faced opposition from the Norman barons and were unable to pursue their claims . The throne was instead taken by Matilda 's cousin Stephen of Blois , who enjoyed the backing of the English Church . Stephen took steps to solidify his new regime , but faced threats both from neighbouring powers and from opponents within his kingdom .   In 1139 Matilda crossed to England to take the kingdom by force , supported by her half-brother , Robert of Gloucester , and her uncle , King David I of Scotland , while Geoffrey focused on conquering Normandy . Matilda 's forces captured Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141 , but the Empress 's attempt to be crowned at Westminster collapsed in the face of bitter opposition from the London crowds . As a result of this retreat , Matilda was never formally declared Queen of England , and was instead titled the Lady of the English . Robert was captured following the Rout of Winchester in 1141 , and Matilda agreed to exchange him for Stephen . Matilda became trapped in Oxford Castle by Stephen 's forces that winter , and was forced to escape across the frozen River Isis at night to avoid capture . The war degenerated into a stalemate , with Matilda controlling much of the south-west of England , and Stephen the south-east and the Midlands . Large parts of the rest of the country were in the hands of local , independent barons .   Matilda returned to Normandy , now in the hands of her husband , in 1148 , leaving her eldest son to continue the campaign in England ; he eventually succeeded to the throne as Henry II in 1154 . She settled her court near Rouen and for the rest of her life concerned herself with the administration of Normandy , acting on Henry 's behalf when necessary . Particularly in the early years of her son 's reign , she provided political advice and attempted to mediate during the Becket controversy . She worked extensively with the Church , founding Cistercian monasteries , and was known for her piety . She was buried under the high altar at Bec Abbey after her death in 1167 .

neg: Henry I the Bald, Count of Stade Henry I the Bald ( died 11 May 976 ) , Count of Stade , son of Lothar II , Count of Stade , and Swanhild of Saxony . Henry is recorded as a cousin of Otto I , Holy Roman Emperor , but their exact relationship remains a mystery . Henry was also appointed Count of Heilangau , the ancient capital of Stade , in 959 .   Apparently , when Henry 's father died at the Battle of Lenzen , the county of Stade was taken by Wichmann the Elder and his two sons , not to return to the family of Lothar until 967 . Henry 's grandson Thietmar of Merseburg recounts that Henry tried to capture Margrave Hermann Billung because of `` arrogance '' in ceremonial matters , but failed .   Henry married first Judith von der Wetterau ( 925-973 ) , sister of Conrad I , Duke of Swabia . Their father was either Conrad or Udo , son of Gebbard , Duke of Lorraine . Henry married second Hildegard von Reinhausen , daughter of Elli I , Count of Reinhausen .   Henry and Judith had seven children :  Henry II the Good , Count of Stade  Lothair Udo I , Count of Stade  Gerberg von Stade ( d. 1000 ) , married Dietrich I , Count of Querfurt . Their son was Dietrich , Bishop of Münster .  Kunigunde von Stade ( 956-997 ) , married Siegfried I the Older , Count of Walbeck . Their son was Thietmar , Prince-Bishop of Merseburg , chronicler of the Ottonian dynasty of Germany and the Holy Roman Empire .  Herwig von Stade  Emnilde von Stade  Siegfried II , Count of Stade .   Henry and Hildegard had one child :  Hildegarde von Stade ( 974 - 3 October 1011 ) , married Bernard I , Duke of Saxony , son of Hermann Billung , Margrave of the Billung March , and his wife Countess Oda .   Henry was succeeded as Count of Stade by his brother Siegfried I . The date of succession is unclear , but possibly as early as 973 .

neg: Matthias II, Duke of Lorraine Matthias II ( 1193 -- 9 February 1251 ) was Duke of Lorraine from 1220 to his death . He was the son of Duke Frederick II and Agnes of Bar and succeeded his brother , Theobald I.   He immediately had to give away Nancy to his brother 's widow , Gertrude of Dagsburg , who remarried to Theobald IV of Champagne , whose suzerainty Matthias had to recognise , due to the fruitless wars his brother had waged against an imperial coalition . Theobald hoped to get his hands on the county of Metz , but failing that , he repudiated Gertrude . Gertrude had no children by a third marriage and Nancy reverted to the duchy on her death in 1225 .   Matthias accompanied Emperor Frederick II on the Sixth Crusade in 1228 and into Italy in 1235 . By this , he reinitiated the close alliance with the Holy Roman Emperors which his forefathers had had for over a century from the appointment of Adalbert until the war between his brother and Frederick , which had ruptured that long friendship .   Matthias faced several unruly barons , especially the Count of Lunéville , who had the discreet support of the Count of Bar . He was victorious and reattached Lunéville to the duchy in an exchange . However , peace was not achieved . In 1230 , Henry II of Bar was at it again , with Hugh II of Vaudémont and the Bishop of Toul , ravaged his ducal territories and took a few castles .   On Henry of Bar 's death in 1240 , Matthias tried to retake those lost castles from Theobald II of Bar , the old count 's young son , but he failed and a peace was signed in 1245 which lasted several decades . That same year , the emperor was excommunicated and Matthias distanced himself from the Imperial camp before joining the papal party of Pope Innocent IV in 1247 . He died only a few years thence after having negotiated the profitable marriage of his son with the daughter of the Count of Champagne .

neg: Henry I (archbishop of Trier) Henry I ( died 3 July 964 ) was the Archbishop of Trier from 956 until his death .   Henry was a member of the House of Babenberg . His brother was Poppo I , Bishop of Würzburg , and another possible brother was the Berthold of Schweinfurt . Henry was trained with Wolfgang , the future saint and Bishop of Regensburg , in the Abbey of Reichenau . Henry and Wolfgang were later trained at the cathedral school in Würzburg by Stephen of Novara . In 956 , Otto I of Germany appointed Henry to the vacant see of Trier .   On 26 May 961 , Henry with the archbishops Bruno I of Cologne and William of Mainz crowned Otto 's son Otto II king . Henry later accompanied Otto I on his campaigns in Italy . He died in Rome during an epidemic of malaria that broke out in the imperial army caused by nearby pestilent marshes . Henry was buried in Parma but his remains were later translated to Trier Cathedral .

neg: Rudolf II, Count Palatine of the Rhine Rudolf II `` the blind '' ( 8 August 1306 in Wolfratshausen -- 4 October 1353 in Neustadt ) was Count Palatine of the Rhine ( see Palatinate ) from 1329 to 1353 .   He was the son of Rudolf I , Duke of Bavaria and Mechtild of Nassau , daughter of King Adolf of Nassau-Weilburg . His uncle was Emperor Louis IV .   During his childhood , his father and his uncle fought over their inheritance . After the death of his father , his family was placed under the guardianship of Duke Johann von Nassau , who was a partisan of the Austrian cause .   His uncle , Louis IV , Holy Roman Emperor had taken the Palatinate by force of arms . In August 1322 , the war finally came to an end , but only after Mechthild 's death in June 1323 , were the three nephews finally able to make peace with their uncle . His sons inherited Bavaria and Rudolf I 's sons inherited the Upper Palatinate and the Palatinate in line with the Treaty of Pavia .   He was blind only in the last years of his life .

Lothair was the eldest son of the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pious and his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye , daughter of Ingerman the duke of Hesbaye . On several occasions , Lothair led his full-brothers Pippin I of Aquitaine and Louis the German in revolt against their father to protest against attempts to make their half-brother Charles the Bald a co-heir to the Frankish domains . Upon the father 's death , Charles and Louis joined forces against Lothair in a three-year civil war ( 840 -- 843 ) . The struggles between the brothers led directly to the breakup of the Frankish Empire assembled by their grandfather Charlemagne , and laid the foundation for the development of modern France and Germany .

neg: Henry V of England Henry V ( 9 August 1386 -- 31 August 1422 ) was King of England from 1413 until his death at the age of 36 in 1422 . He was the second English monarch who came from the House of Lancaster .   After military experience fighting the Welsh during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr , and against the powerful aristocratic Percys of Northumberland at the Battle of Shrewsbury , Henry came into political conflict with his father , whose health was increasingly precarious from 1405 onward . After his father 's death in 1413 , Henry assumed control of the country and embarked on war with France in the ongoing Hundred Years ' War ( 1337 -- 1453 ) between the two nations . His military successes culminated in his famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt ( 1415 ) and saw him come close to conquering France . After months of negotiation with Charles VI of France , the Treaty of Troyes ( 1420 ) recognised Henry V as regent and heir apparent to the French throne , and he was subsequently married to Charles 's daughter , Catherine of Valois ( 1401 -- 37 ) . Following Henry V 's sudden and unexpected death in France two years later , he was succeeded by his infant son , who reigned as Henry VI ( 1422 -- 61 , 1470 -- 71 ) .

neg: Beatrice of Swabia Beatrice or Beatrix of Swabia ( April/June 1198 -- 11 August 1212 ) , a member of the Hohenstaufen dynasty , was Holy Roman Empress and German Queen in 1212 as the first wife of the Welf emperor Otto IV . She was also the shortest-serving Holy Roman Empress , dying three weeks into her marriage .

neg: Otto I, Duke of Swabia and Bavaria Otto I ( born 954 , died 31 October or 1 November 982 ) was the Duke of Swabia from 973 and Duke of Bavaria from 976 . He was a member of the Ottonian dynasty , the only son of Duke Liudolf of Swabia and his wife Ida , and thus a grandson of the Emperor Otto I and his Anglo-Saxon wife Eadgyth . His sister Mathilde was the abbess of Essen Abbey .   Otto was only three years old when his father died in 957 . He was raised at the court of his grandfather , Otto I , who seems to have adopted him and raised him alongside his own son , the future Emperor Otto II , born late in 955 . The latter regarded him as both `` nephew and brother '' ( nepos ac frater ) . When the childless Duke Burchard III of Swabia died in 973 , Otto II transferred the Swabian duchy to his nineteen-year-old nephew and brother , whose father had been Burchard 's predecessor . The elder Otto became a close confidante of his younger sovereign .   In 976 the imprisoned Duke Henry the Wrangler of Bavaria was formally dismissed from office for rebellion . In his place the emperor appointed Otto of Swabia , who became the first ruler of two duchies in medieval Germany . The Duchy of Carinthia and the March of the Nordgau were also taken from Henry , but were not bestowed on Otto , thus their history is separate from that of Bavaria from this point on . In 977 , while the emperor was campaigning elsewhere , Otto helped crush the revolt of the Three Henries -- the deposed duke of Bavaria , Bishop Henry I of Augsburg and Duke Henry I of Carinthia -- by successfully besieging the leaders in Passau . The army of Bavarians that was ambushed by Boleslaus I of Bohemia near Plzeň while on its way to join the emperor at this time may have been sent by Duke Otto .   In 980 Otto accompanied the emperor on his south Italian campaign , fighting both the Byzantines and the Sicilian Arabs . He survived the defeat near Crotone on 13/14 July 982 and a subsequent ambush by an Arab force . Assigned to take the news of the campaign back to Germany , he died en route , of wounds received in battle , either 31 October or 1 November , at Lucca . His father had also died south of the Alps . His family brought his body back and had it buried in the collegiate church of Saints Peter and Alexander at Aschaffenburg , which Otto had generously endowed . His death is noted in the contemporary Abingdon version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle : `` And then , as he went home , his -LSB- the emperor 's -RSB- brother 's son , who was called Otto , passed away ; and he was the son of the aetheling Liudolf , and this Liudolf was son of Otto the Elder and King Edward 's daughter '' .   Otto 's sister Mathilde endowed a precious crux gemmata ( jewelled cross ) , the Cross of Otto and Mathilde , which is kept in the Essen Cathedral Treasury ; the siblings are pictured on it . Otto never married and left no children .

neg: Henry II, Landgrave of Hesse Henry II of Hesse ( German : Heinrich ) , ( c. 1299 -- 3 June 1376 ) called `` the Iron '' was Landgrave of Hesse from 1328 - 1376 .

He descended from the noble family of Arsago , being the son of Dagibert of Arsago . Among his brothers , Landulf of Arsago was Bishop of Brescia and Lanfrank of Arsago was the grandfather on the mother 's side of Anselm of Besate .   In 1001 , Otto III , Holy Roman Emperor , at the time living in Rome , sent him to Byzantium to take a Byzantine princess as his future wife and empress . However Arnulf II , on his journey back to Rome , was reached by the news of the emperor 's death .   When Arduin of Ivrea , in lieu of Henry of Saxony ( the future Henry II , Holy Roman Emperor ) , dynastic successor of Otto III , was elected King of Italy and crowned in Pavia , the traditional site of crowning of the Lombard and Italian kings , Arnulf II stood on the side of Henry . After the defeat of Arduin of Ivrea , Arnulf II went to Pavia to crown Henry of Saxony , on 15 May 1004 , new King of Italy .

neg: Philip I of Namur Philip I ( 1175 -- 9 October 1212 ) , called the Noble , was the margrave of Namur from 1195 until his death . He was the second son of Baldwin V , Count of Hainault , and Margaret I , Countess of Flanders . His paternal grandmother was Alice , Countess of Namur .   Baldwin V had fought a war with his uncle , Henry IV of Luxembourg , to establish Namur as independent from Luxembourg in 1190 and in 1194 , the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI declared Namur to be a margraviate . Baldwin 's will left Namur to Philip , but as a fief of Hainault . However , Theobald I of Bar , who had married Henry of Luxembourg 's heiress , Ermesinda , refused to relinquish Namur and attacked Philip . The war lasted for three years until the Treaty of Dinant , signed on 26 July 1199 , recognised Philip as holder of Namur .   Philip was left as regent of Hainault while his elder brother , Baldwin VI , went on the Fourth Crusade and acted as guardian to the young heiresses Joanna and Margaret .   During a war with France , Philip was subsequently imprisoned and only bought his freedom by marrying Marie , daughter of King Philip Augustus and Agnes of Merania , and sending his nieces as envoys to the royal court of France . This insulted the barons of Flanders and Hainault and they revolted and forced him to give up the regency .   In Namur , Philip reigned as a peaceful and pious promoter of social development . He intervened as the mediator between many feuding lords . He died of dysentery on 9 October 1212 , in Valenciennes . He had designated his twin sister Yolande as heir .

neg: Ralph fitzStephen Ralph fitzStephen ( sometimes Ralf fitzStephen ; died either 25 July 1202 or c. 1204 ) was an English nobleman and royal official .   Ralph had brothers named William fitzStephen , and Eustace . They were probably the sons of Stephen the chamberlain , who is mentioned as a royal chamberlain in the pipe roll for 1156 -- 57 .   Ralph was a royal chamberlain for King Henry II of England and King Richard I of England , serving in that office until at least 1191 . His work would have involved not just household duties , but the financial aspects of the office , both accepting monies owed to the royal household and paying salaries and other expenses of the king 's chamber . In 1170 he was appointed as one of the `` tutors '' to the eldest living son of the king , Henry . Ralph was a frequent witness on royal charters , and during the last years of Henry 's reign was also responsible for the maintenance of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine , who was incarcerated in house arrest by the king .   Ralph was Sheriff of Gloucestershire , from 1171 to 1175 , succeeded by his brother William . Ralph served as a royal justice for the southwest in 1176 and continued as a justice in other counties until 1190 . He assessed the tallage , a tax , from 1176 to 1190 also . In 1184 , Henry II summoned Ralph as a Serjeant-at-law , one of the first identifiable members of that order in the historical record .   King Henry gave Ralph the manors of Wapley and Winterbourne in Gloucestershire . In the feudal inquest of 1166 , Ralph listed him as holding half a knight 's fee at the honour of Totnes , one fee from the bishop of Exeter , and two fees at Crich in Derbyshire that were part of Hubert fitzRalph 's honour there . At some point , he held a fee at Blackwell , Derbyshire from Robert fitzRandulf , as he gave that fee as a marriage portion to his niece Idonea when she married William fitzRandulf . Sometime between 1186 and 1190 , Ralph granted a third of a knight 's fee at Potterspury in Northamptonshire to Geoffrey fitzPeter , another royal official .   Ralph married Maud or Matilda , the daughter of Robert de Calz . According to the historian Katharine Keats-Rohan , the marriage took place sometime before 1177 , as on that date he was given the forestership of Sherwood Forest which had been held by Robert de Calz . But Julia Boorman in Ralph 's entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography says the marriage occurred around 1184 or 1185 . Ralph controlled Sherwood Forest until 1197 , as well as Chippenham Forest in Wiltshire from 1176 to 1190 . Ralph may be the same as the Ralph fitzStephen who was given custody of Guildford Castle in Surrey in 1192 and 1193 .   According to Keats-Rohan , Ralph died around 1204 and had no issue from his marriage . Boorman , however , states he died on 25 July 1202 . According to Keats-Rohan , Maud/Matilda married Adam fitzPeter of Birkin after Ralph 's death , but Boorman says that Maud/Matilda was the widow of fitzPeter when she married Ralph . Ralph gave gifts to Haverholme Priory , Darley Abbey , Gloucester Abbey , and Stanley Abbey . In 1225 the king recognized Richard of Gloucester as Ralph 's nearest heir and confirmed his custody of Winterbourne . Boorman speculates that Richard might have been Ralph 's son by a previous marriage before Maud/Matilda .

neg: Events from the Modern Age of Comic Books One of the key aspects of the Modern Age of Comic Books was that it was the beginning of big events . In 1984 , Marvel Comics debuted the first large crossover , Secret Wars , a storyline featuring the company 's most prolific superheroes , which overlapped into a 12-issue limited series and many monthly comic books . A year later , DC Comics introduced its first large scale crossover , Crisis on Infinite Earths , which had long-term effects on the `` DC Universe '' continuity .   In the early and mid-1990s , big events were regularly published by Marvel and DC , often leading to extra publicity and sales . These events helped fend-off competition from Image Comics , and such events were more likely to become `` collector 's items . '' Some events , such as DC 's `` Zero Hour '' and Marvel 's `` Onslaught saga '' spanned a publisher 's entire line while others only affected a `` family '' of interrelated titles . The X-Men and Batman franchises featured crossovers almost annually .   Some of the most significant mid-1990s events , such as Spider-Man 's `` Clone Saga , '' Batman 's `` Batman : Knightfall '' and particularly , `` The Death of Superman '' caused dramatic changes to long-running characters and received coverage in the mainstream media .   These events led to significant sales boosts and publicity , but many fans began to criticize them as excessive and lacking compelling storytelling . They also complained that monthly series had become inaccessible because one had to follow a number of comics to understand the full storyline . By the end of the 1990s , the number of large crossovers decreased , but they were still launched sporadically .

neg: Death's Head Death 's Head is a fictional character appearing in British comics and American comic books published by Marvel Comics . The character is depicted as a robotic bounty hunter ( or rather , as he calls himself , a `` freelance peace-keeping agent '' ) . The character was created by writer Simon Furman and artist Geoff Senior for the company 's Marvel UK imprint . Furman decided to use Death 's Head in his Transformers stories , but believed that characters appearing in Transformers `` were prone to be absorbed into that title 's catchall copyright '' ( allowing Hasbro to contest their ownership ) and led to a one-page strip titled `` High Noon Tex '' ( which was subsequently published in various Marvel UK titles ) being hastily created to establish Marvel 's ownership of the character . Furman has stated that he chose the name Death 's Head for the character while unaware of the `` Nazi-connotations of the name '' .   The character was later redesigned and relaunched as Death 's Head II , acting as one of the flagship characters for Marvel UK 's 1990s expansion . This version of Death 's Head also inspired two spin-off characters , Death Wreck and Death Metal , each of which starred in its own limited series .   Later , in 2005 , fans used a poll on Marvel 's website to vote for the character 's return . This led to a third version of Death 's Head , Death 's Head 3.0 , created by original Death 's Head writer Simon Furman . Simon Furman said in 2011 that the character was still popular because `` he 'll never change or compromise or grow or repent or agonise like most comic book characters . He 's this unchanging , uncompromising rock that other characters bounce off . But you still kind of love him . Weird . ''

Although the Club appears to merely be an international social club for wealthy elites , its clandestine Inner Circle seeks to influence world events , in accordance with their own agenda .   Created by the Uncanny X-Men writer/artist duo of Chris Claremont and John Byrne , they were heavily influenced by a 1966 episode of the British television series The Avengers ( `` A Touch of Brimstone '' ) . The name `` Hellfire Club '' in fact has a historical precedent , having been a popular name for gentlemen 's clubs in the 18th century . Additionally , the hierarchy of the Inner Circle is modeled on the pieces of a chess set , with Black and White sets of Kings , Queens , Bishops and Rooks .   The Hellfire Club and its Inner Circle were introduced in `` The Dark Phoenix Saga '' , attempting to subvert the X-Men 's Jean Grey . This incarnation , composed most notably of Black King Sebastian Shaw and White Queen Emma Frost , would remain prominent for many years . After their initial confrontations , the Hellfire Club and the X-Men settled into an uneasy alliance . This eventually changed as endless power struggles perpetuated a series of upheavals within the Inner Circle . The club has appeared in two X-Men animated series ( X-Men : The Animated Series and Wolverine and the X-Men ) , both times being renamed as simply The Inner Circle , due to the hesitations to use the word Hellfire in animated children series . Members of the Hellfire Club appeared in 2011 's X-Men : First Class as the main villains , led by Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost .

Beginning in 1758 , and continuing until 1780 , John Welcker of London published the three volumes of Clio & Euterpe or British Harmony , a collection of 600 pages of songs from the 18th century adorned with detailed engravings , and sold them in his `` Music and Instrument Warehouse '' across from the Opera House . Copies are found in the hands of book collectors , in the Library of Congress , in the University of Edinburgh Library , in the Yale University Library and in the Harvard University Library .   The contralto Emma Curtis accompanied by The Frolick produced an album of music from Calliope in 2006 .

neg: Opera management Opera management is the management of the processes by which opera is delivered to audiences . A multifaceted task , it involves managing an opera company , primarily the singers and musicians who perform the operas , but in many cases also managing the opera house in which the company performs .   Opera is a complex art form involving high fixed costs and requiring complex management . In addition to the singers and musicians who form the core of the company its production requires scenery and costumes and sometimes dancers and non-singing actors . Fixed costs in today 's opera organizations -- keeping many of the singers and musicians on year-round contracts , and if managing their own theatre , the cost of workers needed to create and maintain the sets and costumes as well as the cost of maintaining and running the building -- combined with the costs of individual productions , make opera the most expensive of the performing arts . However , even in the 19th century when opera was largely run by individual impresarios rather than large organisations , opera management as a profession was characterised as `` a devouror of the fortunes of the victims it has tempted by its seductions '' . Frederick Gye , who turned the Royal Italian Opera in Covent Garden into one of London 's premiere opera houses in the 19th century and who shaped the careers of many famous singers , described opera management as a `` dreadful business '' .

neg: Tender Trap Tender Trap is an indie rock/twee pop band , based in London ( UK ) , formed in 2001 by three of the five members of Marine Research - Amelia Fletcher , Rob Pursey , and John Downfall .   Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey were previously in the twee pop band Heavenly , and some have seen Tender Trap as representing a return to the pop aesthetic of that earlier band . On their first , electronically slanted album Film Molecules , the songs demonstrate an eclectic mix of musical styles , with a clear nod to the similarly eclectic approach taken by The Magnetic Fields on their 69 Love Songs album .   The band 's initial intention was to be a recording outfit only , due to their hatred of transporting drums from place to place . They compromised by playing live but using a CD player for backing beats . Additional live performers have included Claudia Gonson ( of The Magnetic Fields ) on drums , and Lupe Núñez-Fernández of Pipas and Amor de Días , who was a guest vocalist on the Language Lessons EP and the second album 6 Billion People .   After a quiet 2007-2008 , Tender Trap reformed at the beginning of 2009 as a five piece , with additional members Elizabeth Morris ( also in Allo Darlin ' ) on guitar and vocals and Katrina Dixon ( formerly of Police Cat , Sally Skull and The Garden City Project ) on drums and vocals . They performed on the main stage at Indietracks festival in Derbyshire in July 2009 and the indoor stage in July 2010 . Elizabeth Morris left to concentrate on Allo Darlin ' in August 2010 and Emily Bennett ( Betty And The Werewolves ) joined the following month on guitar and vocals .   In 2010 , Tender Trap released Dansette Dansette , an album that finds Fletcher working with `` up-and-coming British indie luminaries , rediscovering her musical beginnings , and continuing to incorporate and impart feminist consciousness through sharp , yet tender , pop songs ''   As of 2014 , the band is on indefinite hiatus , and Fletcher and Pursey now perform as The Catenary Wires .
