Well before Catherine and Marie de? Medici, the last medieval French queens played an essential role in the monarchy, not only because they bore the weight of their dynasty?s destiny but also because they embodied royal majesty alongside their husbands. Since women were excluded from the French crown in 1316, they were only deemed as ?queen consorts.? Far from being confined solely to the private sphere, however, these queens participated in the communication of power and contributed to the proper functioning of ?court society.? From Isabeau of Bavaria and her political influence during her husband?s intermittent absences to Anne of Brittany?s reign, this book sheds light on the meaning and complexity of the office of queen and ultimately the female history of power. . 410 0$aThe New Middle Ages 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aSocial history 606 $aEurope?History?476-1492 606 $aFrance?History 606 $aEurope?History 606 $aEurope?History?1492- 606 $aMedieval Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/818000 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717070 606 $aHistory of France$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717040 606 $aEuropean History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717000 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717030 607 $aFrance$xKings and rulers 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yMedieval period, 987-1515 607 $aFrance$2fast 607 $aFrankreich$2gnd 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aEurope?History?476-1492. 615 0$aFrance?History. 615 0$aEurope?History. 615 0$aEurope?History?1492-. 615 14$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aHistory of France. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 676 $a944.00992 676 $a944.0209252 700 $aGaude-Ferragu$b Murielle$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063640 702 $aKrieger$b Angela 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255246103321 996 $aQueenship in Medieval France, 1300-1500$92533321 997 $aUNINA
