And the wars of the roses gets very confusing, with multiple holders of the title of queen at once. Some queens survived their husbands and played roles in their daughter in law's life as well. Each is addressed in their own chapter,although in some cases there are overlaps. It s not afraid to try and debunk a few myths, and to accept that they may have been a bad queen, but good mother or interesting woman. It looks at how the role the queen could play has shifted across the centuries, and how they were viewed by their contemporaries as well as by later generations. It looks at who they were, what is known of them as a woman, not just as a figurehead. It takes each of the women who have taken the role of Queen between William the Conqueror and Henry VII and discusses each of them in turn. This is a history by theme, rather than period.
