This book examines the emergence of the queen consort in medieval
England, beginning with the pre-Conquest era and ending with death
of Margaret of France, second wife of Edward I, in 1307. Though
many of the figures in this volumes are well known, such as Eleanor
of Aquitaine and Eleanor of Castille, the chapters here are unique
in the equal consideration given to the tenures of the lesser known
consorts, including: Adeliza of Louvain, second wife of Henry I;
Margaret of France, wife of Henry the Young King; and even Isabella
of Gloucester, the first wife of King John. These innovative and
thematic biographies highlight the evolution of the office of the
queen and the visible roles that consorts played, which were
integral to the creation of the identity of early English monarchy.
This volume and its companions reveal the changing nature of
English consortship from the Norman Conquest to today.
