Drawing on innovative research in the rapidly growing field of
Mediterranean studies, this groundbreaking collection explores the
key roles that Mediterranean queens played as wives, as mothers,
and above all as political actors. Taken together, they form a
varied and comprehensive account of the ways in which these royal
women negotiated their positions within the context of the court,
how they responded to widowhood and other challenging
circumstances, and reactions to queens who exercised political
power in ways considered to be beyond their accepted roles. Ranging
from Byzantine empresses to the consorts of Moroccan sultans to
queens regnant and consort in both the Italian and Iberian
peninsulas, these remarkable studies offer a bracing new
perspective on the concepts and practice of queenship more
generally in the medieval and Early Modern eras.
