Queens of the Age of Chivalry by Alison Weir
A history of five English queen consorts from the 14th and early 15th centuries, well-researched with a focus on the lesser known royal women. They influenced politics and economics as well as fashion and the cult of courtly love. The narrative flows smoothly, intended for a popular audience rather than a scholarly audience. The bibliography and notes at the end are extensive, should the reader want to consult primary sources.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC.
Philippa of Hainault, queen consort to Edward III
