A well written and highly readable account of 20 Medieval queens, usually passed over in the history books, but who have their own fascinating stories to tell. The book flows very well especially when you consider the amount of subject matter and you won’t feel bogged down in detail as each queen gets about 20 pages. A fascinating insight in to the all to often overlooked women who supported the Kings of England.
England's medieval queens were elemental in shaping the history of the nation. In an age where all politics were family politics, dynastic marriages placed English queens at the very centre of power - the king's bed. From Matilda of Flanders, 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.
