Summary:
"From Matilda of Flanders, William the Conqueror'
s
queen, to
Elizabeth
of
York
, the first Tudor
consort
,
England
's
queens
fashioned the nature of monarchy and influenced the direction of the state. Occupying a unique position in the mercurial, often violent world of
medieval
politics, these
queens
had to negotiate a role that combined tremendous influence with terrifying vulnerability. Lisa Hilton'
s
illuminating new book explores the lives of the twenty women who were crowned queen between 1066 and 1503. War, adultery, witchcraft, child abuse, murder- and occasionally even love- formed English queenship, but so too did patronage, learning, and fashion. Lovers of history will enjoy a dramatic narrative that presents an exceptional group of women whose personal ambitions, triumphs, and failures helped to give birth to the modern state."--Back cover.
