Description

Did medieval women have the power to choose? This is a question at the heart of this book which explores three court cases from Yorkshire in the decades after the Black Death.

Alice de Rouclif was a child heiress made to marry the illegitimate son of the local abbot and then abducted by her feudal superior.

Agnes Grantham was a successful businesswoman ambushed and assaulted in a forest whilst on her way to dine with the Master of St Leonard's Hospital.

Alice Brathwell was a respectable widow who attracted the attentions of a supposedly aristocratic conman.

These are their stories.
