"Margaret Howell has written a supremely good book ... in its broad and humane sympathies, as well as in its contribution to political history, this is a book that could hardly have been better done." Times Literary Supplement
"Howell′s reassessment of Eleanor′s role in 13th–century politics and her approach to the study of queenship make this impressively researched work of import to scholars. Her readable and primarily narrative style should nonetheless appeal to a wider audience." Times Higher Education Supplement
"Howell′s study of one of England′s most long–lived queens is thoroughly delightful, engaging, and grounded in impressive scholarship." Choice
"A scholarly and very readable biography" American Historical Review
"In this deeply researched and well–written work, Howell gives, in telling detail, the life of the queen and her place in the larger events of her time ... Above all, given that counselors played as large a part as they did in Henry′s reign, Howell has written a compelling and illuminating account of one counselor who has been too often overlooked, Henry′s Queen." Speculum
The book draws on the rich sources available, to reveal the interaction of the private and public facets of the queen′s life, the cultural and spiritual influences to which she responded and the character of her queenship. Eleanor′s changing relationships with her husband and her eldest son, the future Edward I, are here explored in both their personal and political context. The author looks finally at the years of Eleanor′s widowhood, her entry into Amesbury still in control of her dower, and her death and commemoration in 1291.
Eleanor of Provence provides an unusually intimate and coherent picture of a woman who combined a remarkable aptitude for politics with a strong family commitment and warm friendships. The book will be welcomed by all those interested in the workings of medieval politics and court life, and in the public and private role of queens.
