Palsgrave Macmillan Christmas Special – Empress Adelheid and Countess Matilda

Empress Adelheid and Countess Matilda: Medieval Female Rulership and the Foundations of European Society compares two successful, elite medieval women, Empress Adelheid and Countess Matilda, for their relative ability to retain their wealth and power in the midst of the profound social changes of the eleventh century. The careers of the Ottonian queen and empress Adelheid and Countess Matilda of Tuscany reveal a growth of opportunities for women to access wealth and power. These two women are analysed under three categories: their relationships with family and friends, how they managed their property (particularly land) and how they ruled. This analysis encourages a better understanding of gender relations in both the past and the present.

Palgrave Macmillan are offering a special Christmas price of US$14.99/€14.99 until Dec. 31 with the code PALHOLIDAY17.
