Gender in History |
| Description: |
A study of noblewomen in twelfth-century England and Normandy, and of the ways in which they exercised power. It offers a re-conceptualisation of women's role in aristocratic society, and in doing so suggests fresh ways of looking at lordship and the ruling elite in the high middle ages. It is suitable for those working on lordship and feudalism. |
| Synopsis: |
The first major work on noblewomen in the twelfth century and Normandy, and of the ways in which they exercised power. Offers an important reconceptualisation of women's role in aristocratic society and suggests new ways of looking at lordship and the ruling elite in the high middle ages. Considers a wide range of literary sources such as chronicles, charters, seals and governmental records to draw out a detailed picture of noblewomen in the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman realm. Asserts the importance of the life-cycle in determining the power of aristocratic women. Demonstrates that the influence of gender on lordship was profound, complex and varied. -- . |
