The Life of Women in the Middle Ages. What Knightly Romances Remain Silent About?

The gentle beloved of Dante, Beatrice, the valiant Maid of Orléans, Joan of Arc, the beautiful Queen of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine - these images come to mind first when speaking of the Middle Ages. But in reality, life for beautiful ladies was far from sweet, as the author of the "Divine Comedy" sang in his verses. What was life like for medieval women? Were they locked within four walls or did they manage estates and kingdoms? Did they have a say in choosing their husbands, or was everything decided for them? What connected the knight and his Beautiful Lady? Forget everything you knew or thought you knew about this topic, and start searching for the truth somewhere else, where no one has looked yet. Writer Yulia Andreeva, author of over 40 historical novels, invites you on an exciting journey through medieval castles and royal chambers. The author's light style will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the world of queens and maids, mothers and daughters.
