The third volume of Alison Weir's magisterial history of the queens
of medieval England Medieval queens were seen as mere dynastic
trophies, yet many of the Plantagenet queens of the High Middle
Ages dramatically broke away from the restrictions imposed on their
sex, as Alison Weir shows in this gripping group biography of
England's fourteenth-century consorts. Using personal letters and
wonderfully vivid sources, Alison Weir evokes the lives of five
remarkable queens: Marguerite of France, Isabella of France,
Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois. The
turbulent, brutal Age of Chivalry witnessed the Black Death, the
Peasants' Revolt, the Hundred Years War against France and savage
baronial wars against the monarchy in which these queens were
passionately involved. Queens of the Age of Chivalry brilliantly
recreates this truly dramatic period of history through the lives
of five extraordinary women.
