Interested in the Queens Consort of England?  Then you might like to find out that I will be presenting a course on this topic at WEA Sydney on 22 November 2014.

Following is a short description of the course:

A queen consort is the wife of a crowned king, but often royal alliances dictate they become much more than that. Queens were expected to produce heirs, strengthen dynastic ties and sometimes rule in the king’s absence. Occasionally they wielded great power and influence over the court. This course will examine the lives of five royal wives and their turbulent reigns.

The course will feature Matilda of Flanders, Isabelle of Angouleme, Eleanor of Provence, Henrietta Maria of France and Caroline of Brunswick.  Though not specifically Ricardian, it would be great to be able to welcome some of our members and friends.
