More than those who came before or after them, these Norman consorts were recognized as equal sharers in sovereignty. Drawing from the most reliable contemporary sources, Weir skillfully strips away centuries of romantic lore to share a balanced and authentic take on the importance of these female monarchs."--From dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 942.02092 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.02092 Weir Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.02092 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.02092 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.02092 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList
