Beschreibung

<p><b>The third volume of Alison Weir's magisterial history of the queens of medieval England.<br><br>'Weir's history books are as gripping as novels' <i>The Times</i></b><br><br>Medieval queens were seen as mere dynastic trophies - yet, as Alison Weir shows in this group biography, many of the Plantagenet queens of the High Middle Ages dramatically broke away from the restrictions imposed on their sex.<br><br>Using personal letters and fascinating sources, Weir evokes the lives of these five extraordinary women: Marguerite of France, Isabella of France, Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois. At the same time, she recreates a truly astonishing period of history - the turbulent, brutal Age of Chivalry.<br><br><b>'Places the reader in the midst of...complex, gripping events, telling the stories of five royal wives who lived through them' <i>BBC History</i></b><br><br><b>'Weir is an excellent storyteller' <i>Spectator</i></b></p>
