β¦ Synopsis
A wide-ranging analysis of medieval queenship is provided by these essays, written by North American and European historians who have mined a rich variety of diplomatic, literary, and archaeological sources. Far more than simple biographical sketches, this volume examines queenship across a broad geographical and chronological spectrum.
