Description
Queens of the Conquest: England's Medieval Queens 1066-1167
Alison Weir brings to life the stories of five extraordinary women who played a pivotal role in shaping England's medieval history. From Matilda of Flanders to Empress Maud, these queens were recognised as equal sharers in the royal authority, and their lives are marked by tragedy, drama, and even comedy.
Through their experiences, Weir sheds new light on the often-overlooked roles of women in medieval England, revealing them as pioneers, heroines, and sometimes villains. This is a fascinating and engaging account of the lives of these five influential queens, and a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of England's medieval period.
