Excerpt from A Mediaeval Princess: Being a True Record of the Changing Fortunes Which Brought Divers Titles to Jacqueline, Countess of Holland, Together With an Account of Her Conflict With Philip, Duke of Burgundy (1401-1436)
The authorities whereon the narrative rests are described elsewhere, but here I would make grateful acknowledgment for the cor dial assistance in their use given to me at the libraries of Columbia and Cornell Uni versities, and at the New York Public Library. With every year our historical material grows richer and becomes more available. Governments and learned societies abroad are exerting themselves to publish records and documents while librarians are co-oper ating with archivists to the great advantage of students.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, set in the early 15th century, brings to life Jacqueline, the last sovereign Countess of Holland, Zeeland and Hainaut. Orphaned at sixteen, Jacqueline's life was a constant political struggle, with her various titles and marriages used by her male relatives to further their own ambitions. Jacqueline's story is entwined with that of the region and the era, shedding light on the medieval world's complex feudal system that was gradually beginning to give way to a world shaped by commerce and urban development. The author's deep dive into Jacqueline's life and the broader context of the time offers a captivating look at a period of great change and the role of women in a patriarchal society.
