PORTRAITS OF MEDIEVAL WOMEN: FAMILY, MARRIAGE,AND POLITICS IN ENGLAND 1225–1350

Mitchell, Linda E.

Although numerous general studies of medieval women and a number of biographies of medieval queens have appeared in recent years, there have been comparatively few studies that combine biographical and prosopographical methodologies in order to develop portraits of specific women as case studies of the different life experiences of medieval women. The individual chapters can be read as separate histories of their specific subjects as well as case studies which together provide a coherent picture of the medieval English noblewoman.
