Description
This sweeping history explores the powerful women who shaped England during the turbulent years following the Norman Conquest. From queens who forged alliances and strengthened dynastic rule to those who wielded authority amid rebellion, succession crises, and civil war, it reveals the political influence and personal resilience of medieval royal women. Rich in historical detail, the book examines the ways these queens navigated marriage, motherhood, faith, and power in a rapidly changing kingdom. Vivid and accessible, it offers a compelling reassessment of the Norman and early Plantagenet eras through the lives of the women at their center.
