This book investigates the agency and influence of medieval queens
in late fourteenth-century England, focusing on the patronage and
intercessory activities of the queens Philippa of Hainault and Anne
of Bohemia, as well as the princess Joan of Kent. It examines the
ways in which royal women were able to participate in traditional
queenly customs such as intercession, and whether it was motherhood
that gave power to a queen. This study focuses particularly on
types of patronage, and also considers the importance of
coronation, especially for Joan of Kent, who was neither a queen
consort nor a dowager, yet still fulfilled some queenly duties.
Crucially, the author highlights the transactional nature of the
queen's role at court, as she accumulated wealth from land, rights
and traditions, which in turn funded patronage activities.
