Reviews

Pleasurable and stimulating to read. The book is very well-researched; the author has mastered the most recent bibliography of what constitutes queenship studies, and constructs a vivid and believable portrayal of its evolution. It has the potential to be adopted in different types of courses - including medieval European history survey classes and history seminars focusing on political power, gender, etc. - Nuria Silleras-Fernandez, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA
