CONGRESS CANCELED Rulership at Kalamazoo I: Rethinking the Role of the Consort (Male and Female)
Description
It is increasingly apparent that with all of the interest in medieval monarchs, there is a lacuna of academic studies of their consorts (both male and female) and the important roles they played at court and as spouses and mothers (and fathers). This panel reconsiders the roles of consorts and their importance to statecraft, dynasty, and patronage. Valerie Schutte
