Reviews

In Joan de Valence, Linda Mitchell takes up a number of challenges that face any scholar attempting to write the life history of a medieval woman. The result is a book making the case not just for this one powerful noblewoman, but for a return to the archives to reassess the underappreciated but important roles that women played in medieval society. (Kathleen Ashley, Journal of British Studies, Vol. 55 (4), October, 2016)
