Samenvatting

The last medieval queens of England were Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne Neville, and Elizabeth of York - four very different women whose lives and queenship were dominated by the Wars of the Roses. The book sets out to answer important questions about the nature and role of queenship in the last years of medieval England. What sort of woman was chosen to be queen? What behaviour was expected of her? What power or authority was granted to her? How did the king use her in the exercise of his kingship? J. L. Laynesmith considers what it meant to be a queen during these turbulent times, and examines the ways in which these women interpreted their roles.
