This book explores an alternate history of the power and agency of
30 Hungarian queens over 400 years by a rigorous examination of the
material culture connected with their lives. By researching the
objects, images, and spaces, it demonstrates how these women
expressed and displayed their power. Queens used material culture
and space not only to demonstrate their own power to a wide,
international audience, but also to consolidate their own position
when it was weakened by external circumstances. Both the public and
private image of the queen factors significantly in understanding
in her own role at the strongly centralized Hungarian court, and,
moreover, how her position and person strengthened and complemented
that of the king.
