Title:
Historical Ironies in the Study of Capetian Women [The author traces a number of distinctions in French queenship as compared to the case in England. LoPrete signals in particular: the situation in which the more extensive political power of lordly women made the active participation of queens less exceptional, the higher number of royal brides from French noble families which caused women to be drawn into more political controversies, and the emphasis on the sacred importance of the monarchy which conferred additional status on Capetian queens. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
