The life of medieval queens of England was full of events - love, intrigues, betrayals, adultery and wars. But the details of their biographies after many centuries of silence obliterated from historical memory, and really happened in the interpretation of the biographers of subsequent centuries overgrown with legendary details. Alison Ware, a recognized master of the biographical genre, offers to touch the most reliable sources to separate the true lives of several of these remarkable women from centuries of romantic legend and restore them to their rightful place in history. This monumental royal saga spans the years from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to 1154, when Henry II ascended the throne and his wife Alienora of Aquitaine became the first queen of the Plantagenet dynasty. Other heroines of this documentary epic include William the Conqueror's wife Matilda of Flanders, Matilda of Scotland, revered as "the mother of all Englishmen," and Empress Maud, the first female ruler of England, whose son King Henry II later founded the Plantagenet dynasty.
