The third volume of Alison Weirâ?Ts magisterial history of the queens of medieval England. â?~Weirâ?Ts history books are as gripping as novelsâ?T The TimesMedieval queens were seen as mere dynastic trophies â?" yet, as Alison Weir shows in this group biography, many of the Plantagenet queens of the High Middle Ages dramatically broke away from the restrictions imposed on their sex. Using personal letters and fascinating sources, Weir evokes the lives of these five extraordinary women: Marguerite of France, Isabella of France, Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois. At the same time, she recreates a truly astonishing period of history â?" the turbulent, brutal Age of Chivalry. â?~Places the reader in the midst ofâ?▌complex, gripping events, telling the stories of five royal wives who lived through themâ?T BBC Historyâ?~Weir is an excellent storytellerâ?T Spectator
