This book examines the power held by the French medieval queens
during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and their larger
roles within the kingdom at a time when women were excluded from
succession to the throne. Well before Catherine and Marie de'
Medici, the last medieval French queens played an essential role in
the monarchy, not only because they bore the weight of their
dynasty's destiny but also because they embodied royal majesty
alongside their husbands. Since women were excluded from the French
crown in 1316, they were only deemed as "queen consorts." Far from
being confined solely to the private sphere, however, these queens
participated in the communication of power and contributed to the
proper functioning of "court society." From Isabeau of Bavaria and
her political influence during her husband's intermittent absences
to Anne of Brittany's reign, this book sheds light on the meaning
and complexity of the office of queen and ultimately the female
history of power.
