- Description
- Investigates the "agency and influence of medieval queens" by comparing the careers of the English queens Philippa of Hainault and Anne of Bohemia and the "almost queen" Joan of Kent. Examines patronage and intercession and explores the extent to which motherhood and coronation combined with other factors to provide "a queen with power and influence." Includes recurrent comments on Chaucer's connections with the three women, particularly Anne’s possible patronage of him and his allusions to her.
