Description

Review “Rohr gives scholars and students of medieval France, queens and the practice of queenship a much richer, more nuanced, more meaningful portrait of a complex historic tapestry.” (Theresa Earenfight, French History, Vol. 31 (1), March, 2017)“Continuing the recent trend toward writing biographies of lesser-known female political figures, Zita Eva Rohr has privileged her readers in Yolande of Aragon (1381-1442) Family and Power with an in-depth look into the life and times of Yolande. … a well-written and researched insight into the activities of the house of Valois-Anjou from 1380 to 1442, a house and historical period which have desperately needed more focused analyses such as this.” (Derek R. Whaley, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 3 (2), 2016) Product Description Yolande of Aragon is one of the most intriguing of late medieval queens who contrived to be everywhere and nowhere, operating seamlessly from backstage and center stage. She is acknowledged as having been shrewd and intelligent - an éminence grise whose political and diplomatic agency secured the throne of France for her son-in-law, Charles VII. From the Back Cover Yolande of Aragon is one of the most intriguing of late medieval queens who contrived to be everywhere and nowhere simultaneously; operating seamlessly from backstage and front-of-house. She was shrewd, focused and intelligent – an éminence grise whose political and diplomatic agency secured the throne of France for her son-in-law, Charles VII, and the survival of her marital house. Rohr's work is a long-anticipated and much-needed scholarly assessment of an incredibly powerful and influential figure of fifteenth century history who just happened to be a queen. About the Author Zita Eva Rohr is Researcher and Tutor attached to the Department of History at The University of Sydney, Australia. Her primary research interests include the theory and practice of rulership, politics and gender in medieval and early modern Europe. She earned her Ph.D. in 2009 from the University of Armidale, Australia. In 2004 she was admitted to the Ordre des Palmes Académiques (chevalier grade).
