Medieval queens led richly complex lives and were highly visible
women active in a man's world. Linked to kings by marriage, family,
and property, queens were vital to the institution of monarchy. In
this comprehensive and accessible introduction to the study of
queenship, Theresa Earenfight documents the lives and works of
queens and empresses across Europe, Byzantium, and the
Mediterranean in the Middle Ages. The book: - Introduces pivotal
research and sources in queenship studies, and includes exciting
and innovative new archival research - Highlights four crucial
moments across the full span of the Middle Ages - ca. 300, 700,
1100, and 1350 - when Christianity, education, lineage, and
marriage law fundamentally altered the practice of queenship -
Examines theories and practices of queenship in the context of
wider issues of gender, authority, and power. This is an invaluable
and illuminating text for students, scholars and other readers
interested in the role of royal women in medieval society.
