Description

Queens and Queenship in Medieval Europe: Proceedings of a Conference Held at King's College London, April 1995 This collection of essays explores the image, status, and function of queens and empresses in medieval kingdoms across Europe. The promotion of the cult of the Virgin is examined as it relates to the role of women in medieval dynastic politics. Contributors from various fields offer insights into the lives of queens such as Emma of England and Margaret of Scotland, as well as Byzantine empresses and Scandinavian queens. Topics include coronation and burial ritual, shedding new light on the complex relationships between power, religion, and gender in medieval Europe. Through its diverse range of perspectives, this book contributes to a reassessment of the role of women in medieval dynastic politics, challenging prevailing views of their experiences and agency.
