Blanche of Castile, Queen of France, Hardback Book

Blanche of Castile, Queen of France Hardback

Hardback

Available to Order - This title is available to order, with delivery expected within 2 weeks

Description

This is the first modern scholarly biography of Blanche of Castile, whose identity has until now been subsumed in that of her son, the saintly Louis IX.

A central figure in the politics of medieval Europe, Blanche was a sophisticated patron of religion and culture.

Through Lindy Grant’s engaging account, based on a close analysis of Blanche’s household accounts and of the social and religious networks on which her power and agency depended, Blanche is revealed as a vibrant and intellectually questioning personality.
