This book compares two successful, elite women, Empress Adelheid
(931-999) and Countess Matilda (1046-1115), for their relative
ability to retain their wealth and power in the midst of the
profound social changes of the eleventh century. The careers of the
Ottonian queen and empress Adelheid and Countess Matilda of Tuscany
reveal a growth of opportunities for women to access wealth and
power. These two women are analyzed under three categories: their
relationships with family and friends, how they managed their
property (particularly land), and how they ruled. This analysis
encourages a better understanding of gender relations in both the
past and the present.
