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.].

Abstract:
This essay considers the life and career of Blanche of Castile and examines sources of power, such as the manipulation of material culture and ritual, which pertained to the office of the queen, but were not generally documented by the king's curia.
