William Layher: Queenship and voice in medieval Northern Europe

Sammendrag

Research on medieval queenship has been around for twenty years, more or less, and during this time many interesting studies have been produced, in a number of disciplines and dealing with different geographic areas. Still, compared to studies on kingship the field is both smaller and considerably younger. William Layher's book is the first full-length study in this vein that sets out to explore queenship in medieval Scandinavia.
