A lyrical and astute assessment of the political maneuvers, battlefield strategies, and resilience of medieval queens ... a deeply fascinating portrait of the early Middle Ages that vigorously reclaims two powerhouse women from obscurity. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) A remarkable piece of detective work, by turns enlightening and shocking. Anyone who thought that medieval queens spent their time sewing and sighing is in for a surprise. --Amanda Foreman, New York Times-bestselling author of GEORGIANA: DUCHESS OF DEVONSHIRE and THE WORLD MADE BY WOMEN Impeccably researched. A delicious read. --Denise Kiernan, New York Times bestselling author of THE GIRLS OF ATOMIC CITY and WE GATHER TOGETHER
