Title: Noblewomen, aristocracy and power in the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman realm
Description: This is a study of noblewomen in 12th century England and Normandy, and of the ways in which they exercised power. It draws on a rich mix of evidence to offer an important reconceptualism of women's role in aristocratic society, and in doing so suggests new ways of looking at lordship.
