Sumario: | This account of noblewomen in Wales in the high middle ages focuses on one particular case-study, Nest of Deheubarth. Object of one of the most notorious and portentous abductions of the middle ages, she was both mistress of Henry I and ancestress of a dynasty which dominated the Anglo-Norman conquests of Ireland. The book develops understandings of the interactions of gender with conquest, imperialism, and with the social and cultural transformations of the middle ages, from a new perspective. |
