This book is not a traditional biography but a thematic study of the ideology and practice of queenship. It examines the motivations behind the choice of the first English-born queens, the multi-faceted rituals of coronation, childbirth, and funeral, the divided loyalties between family and king, and the significance of a position at the heart of the English power structure that could only be filled by a woman. It sheds new light on the queens' struggles to defend their children's rights to the throne, and argues that ideologically and politically a queen was integral to the proper exercise of mature kingship in this period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934834589984,"sku":"NEW019927956X","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-last-medieval-queens-english-queenship-1445-1503-019927956x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
