As sisters and successive countesses of Flanders and Hainaut in the
thirteenth century, Jeanne and Marguerite actively shaped the
political landscape of northern Europe, and compiled an impressive
record of monastic patronage. By examining a significant corpus of
secular and monastic charters, this study provides a more complex
understanding of the role of religious patronage in medieval
society, and illuminates concerns specific to powerful women. It
simultaneously illustrates the use of patronage to further their
political agendas, offering a glimpse of the experience of female
rulers in a period when their actions were often constrained and
obscured by gender bias.
