Daughters of Chivalry by Kelcey Wilson-Lee
The first full biography of the five remarkable daughters of Edward I.
A much needed book - the first for over a century to turn the spotlight on the daughters of Eleanor of Castile and Edward IKelcey Wilson-Lee does a wonderful job of bringing these young women, whose lives have to be reconstructed largely from the small print of the account books, to vibrant life. What is even better, she manages to uncover their very different personalities - right down to their taste in clothes! The royal family of the late thirteenth century truly comes alive in her hands. -- Sara Cockerill, author of Eleanor of Castile
A stunning and intricately researched portrayal of five extraordinary women whose stories have until now remained in the shadows. The author shatters many of the myths surrounding the lives of medieval princesses and brings them to life in all their startling modernity. -- Tracy Borman, author of The Private Lives of the Tudors and Thomas Cromwell
