      abstract = {From Matilda of Flanders, William the Conqueror's queen,  to Elizabeth of York, the first Tudor consort, England's  queens fashioned the nature of monarchy and influenced the  direction of the state. Occupying a unique position in the  mercurial, often violent world of medieval politics, these  queens had to negotiate a role that combined tremendous  influence with terrifying vulnerability. Lisa Hilton's  illuminating new book explores the lives of the twenty  women who were crowned queen between 1066 and 1503. War,  adultery, witchcraft, child abuse, murder- and occasionally  even love- formed English queenship, but so too did  patronage, learning, and fashion. Lovers of history will  enjoy a dramatic narrative that presents an exceptional  group of women whose personal ambitions, triumphs, and  failures helped to give birth to the modern state.},
