Queens and Queenship in Medieval Europe: Proceedings of a Conference Held at King's College London April 1995
A History, Nonfiction book. I THINK this is the book I read, or tried to. If it...
Did queens exercise real or counterfeit power? Did the promotion of the cult of the Virgin enhance or restrict their sphere of action? Is it time to revise the early feminist view of women as victims? Important papers on Emma of England, Margaret of Scotland, coronation and burial ritual, Byzantine empresses and Scandinavian queens, among others, clearly indicate that a reassessment of the role of women in the world of medieval dynastic politics is under way. Contributors: JANOS BAK, GEORGE CONKLIN, PAUL CROSSLEY, VOLKER HONEMANN, STEINAR IMSEN, LIZ JAMES, KURT-ULRICH JASCHKE, SARAH LAMBERT, JANET L. NELSON, JOHN C. PARSONS, KAREN PRATT, DION SMYTHE, PAULINE STAFFORD, MARY STROLL, VALERIE WALL, ELIZABETH WARD, DIANA WEBB.

I THINK this is the book I read, or tried to. If it is the same book, it deals with questions like what impact the rise of monogamous marriage had on queens who were trying to establish their own sons as rulers. Some of the papers are heavy going (depending on your interest and depth of study) but this collection covers a range of subjects from historic individuals to their literary and architectural legacies.
