England From The Perspective Of Its Consort Queens - A Distaff History Of The Nation From 1066 To 1503. 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. Occupying A Unique Position In The Mercurial, Often Violent World Of Medieval State-craft, English Queens Had To Negotiate A Role That Combined Tremendous Influence With Terrifying Vulnerability. Lisa Hilton's Meticulously Researched New Book Explores The Lives Of The Twenty Women Who Were Crowned Queen Between 1066 And 1503, Reconsidering The Fictions Surrounding Well-known Figures Like Eleanor Of Aquitaine And Illuminating The Lives Of Forgotten Figures Such As Adeliza Of Louvain.

Lisa Hilton Considers The Evolution Of The Queenl
