Epilogue: The Power of Royal Women? 001378223 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001378223 520__ $$aIn tenth-century Europe and particularly in Germany, imperial women were able to wield power in ways that were scarcely imaginable in earlier centuries. Theophanu and Adelheid were two of the most influential figures in the Ottonian reich along with their husbands, who relied heavily on their support. Phyllis G. Jestice examines an array of factors that produced their power and prestige, including societal attitudes toward women, their wealth, their unction as queens, and their carefully constructed image of piety. Due to their influential positions, Theophanu and Adelheid reclaimed control of the young Otto III despite fierce opposition from Henry the Quarrelsome during the throne struggle of 984. In examining how they successfully secured the regency, this book confronts the outmoded notion of exceptionalism and illuminates the lives of powerful Ottonian women. 001378223 60000 $$aAdelaide,$$cEmpress, consort of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor,$$d931-999. 001378223 60000 $$aTheophano,$$cEmpress, consort of Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor,$$d958-991. 001378223 650_0 $$aEmpresses$$zGermany$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 001378223 650_0 $$aEmpresses$$zHoly Roman Empire$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 001378223 651_0 $$aGermany$$xHistory$$ySaxon House, 919-1024. 001378223 651_0 $$aHoly Roman Empire$$xHistory$$ySaxon House, 919-1024. 001378223 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001378223 77608 $$iPrinted edition:$$z9783319773056$$w(OCoLC)1039632622 001378223 830_0 $$aQueenship and power. 001378223 852__ $$bebk 001378223 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-77306-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001378223 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1378223$$pGLOBAL_SET 001378223 980__ $$aBIB 001378223 980__ $$aEBOOK 001378223 982__ $$aEbook 001378223 983__ $$aOnline 001378223 994__ $$a92$$bISE
