Conclusions.This book explores an alternate history of the power and agency of 30 Hungarian queens over 400 years by a rigorous examination of the material culture connected with their lives. By researching the objects, images, and spaces, it demonstrates how these women expressed and displayed their power. Queens used material culture and space not only to demonstrate their own power to a wide, international audience, but also to consolidate their own position when it was weakened by external circumstances. Both the public and private image of the queen factors significantly in understanding in her own role at the strongly centralized Hungarian court, and, moreover, how her position and person strengthened and complemented that of the king. .Queenship and Power,2730-9398EuropeHistory476-1492Europe, CentralHistorySexHistory of Medieval EuropeHistory of Germany and Central EuropeGender StudiesEuropeHistory476-1492.Europe, CentralHistory.Sex.History of Medieval Europe.History of Germany and Central Europe.Gender Studies.943.902943.902Mielke Christopher853392MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483695703321The Archaeology and Material Culture of Queenship in Medieval Hungary, 1000-13954328876UNINA
