It also promotes a deeper understanding of the methods of power and patronage for women who were not queens, many of which have since become mythologized into what historians have wanted them to be. The chronological organisation of the book, meanwhile, allows the reader to see more clearly how these forgotten queens are related by the power, agency, and patronage they displayed, despite the mythologization to which they have all been subjected. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering a broad geographical coverage and providing a comparison of queenship across a range of disciplines, such as religious history, art history, and literature, \u003ci\u003eForgotten Queens in Medieval and Early Modern Europe \u003c\/i\u003eis ideal for students and scholars of pre-modern queenship and of medieval and early modern history courses more generally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Schutte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138085456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138085459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Valerie Schutte","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120926060799,"sku":"9781138085459","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36d0af4d-99e9-4f1b-a396-ea09c5486fc5.jpg?v=1687417056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forgotten-queens-in-medieval-and-valerie-schutte-9781138085459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
