BECOMING A QUEEN IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE - KATAR...

Queens of Poland are conspicuously absent from the study of European queenship-an absence which
together with early modern Poland's marginal place in the historiography  results in a picture
of European royal culture that can only be lopsided and incomplete. Katarzyna Kosior cuts
through persistent stereotypes of an East-West dichotomy and a culturally isolated early modern
Poland to offer a groundbreaking comparative study of royal ceremony in Poland and France. The
ceremonies of becoming a Jagiellonian or Valois queen  analysed in their larger European
context  illuminate the connections that bound together monarchical Europe. These ceremonies
are a gateway to a fuller understanding of European royal culture  demonstrating that it is
impossible to make claims about European queenship without considering eastern Europe.
