Description
Traveling from the court of Henry III to the turbulent reign of Edward II, this richly researched history explores the lives of the medieval queens who shaped England during the high age of chivalry. Eleanor of Provence, Eleanor of Castile, Margaret of France, and Isabella of France emerge as formidable women navigating dynastic politics, international alliances, courtly expectations, and personal ambition. Drawing on chronicles, letters, and contemporary evidence, the book reveals the power these queens wielded—and the limits imposed upon them—in an era of warfare, ceremony, faith, and intrigue. Vividly narrated and grounded in meticulous scholarship, it offers an illuminating portrait of medieval queenship and the women behind the throne.
