Occupying a unique position in the mercurial, often violent world of medieval state-craft, Englands medieval queens were elemental in shaping the history of the monarchy and the nation. Lisa Hiltons meticulously researched new work explores the lives of the 20 women crowned between 1066 and 1503. She reconsiders the fictions surrounding well-known figures like Eleanor of Aquitaine, illuminates the lives of forgotten queens such as Adeliza of Louvain, and shows why they all had to negotiate a role that combined tremendous influence with terrifying vulnerability. The result is a provocative and dramatic narrative that redefines English history.
