Title:
I Have Nothing But Through Her: Women and the Conquest of Ireland, 1170-1240 [The author explores the various roles that women played: given as prizes in marriage to cement alliances among the conquerors, victims of brutality and rape from the invading army, and inciters to "grant crueté" whether urging their husbands to sterner retaliations or, like Alice of Abervenny, the beheader of seventy Irish prisoners after the battle of Baginbun. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
