Plantagenet queens and consorts : family, duty and power
Corvi, Steven J.2020
Books
What unacknowledged theme can be found across 250 years of English history? What thread runs throughout the Plantagenet Royal House, including as it does the 'cadet' houses of Lancaster and York, to the beginning of the Modern Period in 1485? It is the influence on events of the royal women; in particular, the queens. Without children, there is no dynasty, no 'house'. 'Plantagenet Queens and Consorts' examines the lives and influence of ten figures, comparing their different approaches to the maintenance of political power in what is always described as a man's world.
