This is the first single work that examines Anglo Saxon Queenship, making it a useful comparative study for students and lecturers and helping to illuminate the practice of queenship in this key historical period.

Family trees of Mercian and Northumbrian dynasties, the Mercian Royal Women and their Marriages, and the Kentish Royal Family will help readers to understand the key figures, their relationships with one another, and chronology.

Exploring the queens and women thematically enables readers to understand them in the wider context of queenship, Anglo Saxon and women's studies.
