Abstract

This concluding chapter to the volume on Anglo-Norman queen consorts attempts to see and explore the shifting statuses of English queen consorts from the Anglo-Norman into the Angevin period by exploring the role that Bernard of Clairvaux and the growing cult of the Blessed Virgin Mary played in exemplifying earthly models for queens, as well as the changing lands of the Angevin 'Empire' and its meaning for marriage diplomacy.
