Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines female agency and authority in both the medieval and early modern periods, arguing that the divide between the two is an unhelpful construct. The book engages deeply with the long term development of the field of queenship and current scholarship, and suggests new possibilities such as an inclusive approach to ruling pairs, encouraging greater analysis of the administration of the queen¿s lands, investigating neglected figures and regions and the need to move the field in a truly global direction.
