This queen’s ownership of works of art (books, jewelry, reliquaries, and textiles, among others) and her perceptions of these objects is well -documented because she wrote detailed testaments in 1396 and 1398 in which she described her possessions and who she wished to receive them. Keane connects the patronage of Blanche of Navarre to her interest in her status and reputation as a dowager queen, as well as bringing to life the material, adornment, and devotional interests of a medieval queen and her household.Art and material culture in Medieval and Renaissance Europe ;Volume 5.QueensFranceBiographyMaterial cultureFranceHistoryTo 1500Personal belongingsFranceHistoryTo 1500WillsFranceHistoryTo 1500Patronage, PoliticalFranceHistoryTo 1500FranceKings and rulersBiographyFranceHistoryPhilip VI, 1328-1350FranceHistory14th centuryElectronic books.QueensMaterial cultureHistoryPersonal belongingsHistoryWillsHistoryPatronage, PoliticalHistory707.444Keane Marguerite A.1067673MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910511477103321Material culture and queenship in 14th-century France2551714UNINA
