Through careful analysis, the volume presents a ground-breaking appraisal of the role of queens in early England, and how their actions and identities shaped their practice of queenship. Organised thematically, it offers an overview of queens in many different roles, such as agents of Christianity, mothers, and peace-weavers. From high profile queens such as  thelthryth of Ely and Cynethryth of Mercia, to the shadowy Leofrun of East Anglia and the nameless queen of Anna of East Anglia, the book engages with sources to advance fuller narratives about even the most obscure queens of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAided by resources such as genealogical tables, \u003ci\u003eEarly English Queens, 650-850 \u003c\/i\u003eis an ideal resource for students and scholars at all levels, as well general readers, interested in the lives of queens and early English history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefany Wragg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036733576X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367335762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Stefany Wragg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070693306623,"sku":"9780367335762","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b055b990-c163-4acc-8e47-330816a53ca1.jpg?v=1685431812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-english-queens-650-850-stefany-wragg-9780367335762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
