Riassunto

From Elizabeth of York - wife of Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch - through to Elizabeth I, her grand-daughter and the last in the line, this book explores some of the most colourful and dramatic women in British history. Queen consorts were central to the Royal Court but their role has rarely been examined or contrasted with the better known ruling queens. How did they behave (in and out of the bedchamber)? How powerful were they as patrons of learning and the arts? What religious views did they espouse and why? How successful and influential were they?

Recensione:

'There is certainly a rich vein of material to be quarried here by any scholars wanting to write about not only the political history of the period but also complex attitudes to gender ... Professor Loades' book offers a way in to this multi-layered subject'. --Derek Wilson, History Today
