Description

Forgotten Queens in Medieval and Early Modern Europe examines queens dowager and queens consort whose contributions have been overlooked or misrepresented in historical scholarship. Spanning from 1016 to 1800 across eleven chapters, this Routledge publication traces the political agency and influence of queens throughout eight centuries of European monarchy. The book reveals how these women wielded power through patronage networks, myth-making, and strategic positioning within royal courts, even when formal authority was denied them. By reconstructing the lives and legacies of forgotten queens, this work challenges conventional narratives of medieval and early modern queenship and demonstrates the complex roles women played in shaping dynastic succession, cultural patronage, and political outcomes. Ideal for historians, students of gender studies, and readers interested in European royal history, the book provides fresh perspectives on the methods of power available to consorts and dowagers whose stories have been marginalised or distorted by centuries of historical interpretation.
