Joan, Lady of Wales: Power and Politics of King John’s Daughter

Description

The history of women in medieval Wales before the English conquest of 1282 is largely shrouded in mystery. This first-ever account of Joan or Siwan, wife of Llywelyn the Great, interweaves details of her life and relationships with gendered re-assessment of Anglo-Welsh politics by highlighting her involvement in affairs and events that have previously gone unrecorded.
