English Noblewomen in the Later Middle Ages, Paperback / softback Book

English Noblewomen in the Later Middle Ages Paperback / softback

Part of the The Medieval World series

Paperback / softback

Description

This vivid and pioneering study illuminates the different roles played in late medieval society by noblewomen - the most substantial group of women to survive as individuals in medieval documents.

They emerge (despite limited political opportunities) as figures of consequence themselves in a landowning society through estate management in their husbands' frequent absences, and through hospitality, patronage and affinity.
