The Queens Regnant of Navarre: Succession, Politics, and Partnership, 1274-1512

By Elena Woodacre

Book Overview

The five queens of Navarre were the largest group of female sovereigns in one European realm during the Middle Ages, but they are largely unknown beyond a regional audience. This survey fills this scholarly lacuna, focusing particularly on issues of female succession, agency, and power-sharing dynamic between the queens and their male consorts.
