Nest of Deheubarth was one of the most notorious women of the
Middle Ages, mistress of Henry I and many other men, famously
beautiful and strong-willed, object of one of the most notorious
abduction/elopements of the period and ancestress of one of the
most famous dynasties in medieval Ireland, the Fitzgeralds. This
volume sheds light on women, gender, imperialism and conquest in
the Middle Ages. From it emerges a picture of a woman who, though
remarkable, was not exceptional, representative not of a group of
victims or pawns in the dramatic transformations of the high Middle
Ages but powerful and decisive actors. The book examines beauty,
love, sex and marriage and the interconnecting identities of Nest
as wife/concubine/mistress, both at the time and in the centuries
since her death, when for Welsh writers and other commentators she
has proved a powerful symbol. -- .
