Record Number: 4608 Author(s)/Creator(s): Contributor(s): Title: Blanche of Castile and Facinger's "Medieval Queenship": Reassessing the Argument [The author examines Facinger's argument for the diminution of Capetian queenly power and holds up Blanche of Castile as a counter argument. Shadis points to her authority and power, often in "non-official" venues, as mother and regent, arguing that she shows a solid and consistent exercise of queenship. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
