From one of Britain's best selling historians a sweeping and magisterial history of the extraordinary lives of five queens in England's turbulent Age of ChivalryMedieval queens were seen as mere dynastic trophies yet many of the Plantagenet queens of the High Middle Ages dramatically broke away from the restrictions imposed on their sex as Alison Weir shows in this gripping group biography of England's fourteenth-century consorts.Using personal letters and wonderfully vivid sources Alison Weir evokes the lives of five remarkable queens: Marguerite of France Isabella of France Philippa of Hainault Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois.The turbulent brutal Age of Chivalry witnessed the Black Death the Peasants' Revolt the Hundred Years War against France and savage baronial wars against the monarchy in which these queens were passionately involved. Queens of the Age of Chivalry brilliantly recreates this truly dramatic period of history through the lives of five extraordinary women.Stunning... [Weir has] brought those five queens to life like never before. I just raced through it - it has all the drama and suspense of a novel. - Tracy Borman praise for Queens of Crusades
