Queens Consort: England's Medieval Queens from Eleanor of Aquitaine to Elizabeth of York
I'm trying to clear out some bookshelves (and the space beside my bed) by getting rid of (reading) books that I've had for years. This is one that I picked up for some fun reading (yes, biographies of medieval queens counts in my world as "light reading").
This book starts with Matilda of Flanders, wife of William the Conqueror, and ends with Elizabeth of York, wife of Henry VII. Not to spoil things, but by the end of the book, they are all dead.
The author does a good job within the confines of the book. After all, if you're covering a lot of queens in one book, you don't have much space for each. That said, this book included more information than I've found in most places about Berengaria of Navarre. The book doesn't allow the author to ignore the less interesting wives and just talk about Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Obviously, this book is not going to give you all the information you could possibly want about the queens, but if you're interested in learning how the role of queen consort evolved, it's ... wait for it... a good read.
