This is the first study of noblewomen in 12th-century England and
Normandy, and of the ways in which they exercised power. It draws
on a rich mix of evidence to offer an important reconceptualization
of women's role in aristocratic society, and in doing so suggests
new ways of looking at lordship and the ruling elite in the high
middle ages. The book considers a wide range of literary sources
such as chronicles, charters, seals and governmental records to
draw out a detailed picture of noblewomen in the 12th-century
Anglo-Norman realm. It asserts the importance of the lifecycle in
determining the power of these aristocratic women, thereby
demonstrating that the influence of gender on lordship was
profound, complex and varied.
