Chaucer's Queens Royal Women, Intercession, and Patronage in England, 1328–1394

“The strengths of this study lie in its comparative vision and its well-researched contextual materials. The well-connected themes are also mutually informing. Among the already published seventy or so monographs of Palgrave Macmillan’s Queenship and Power Series, this book is a valuable addition to the evolving and increasingly globalized scholarship of queenship, which is complementing and revising the master narrative of the historiography of kingship.” (Chi-fang Sophia Li, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 76 (3), 2023)

“Tingle’s book is an important contribution to the study of medieval queenship. It adds new categories of analysis by locating the queen’s intercession and patronage within a transactional and economic space, giving broader understanding of the queen’s role at court and her agency, power, and authority.” (Lisa Benz, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 9 (1), 2022)
