  • Royal Childhood and Child Kingship

    Open AccessEmily Joan WardBOOKRoyal Childhood and Child Kingship2022

    Refining adult-focused perspectives on medieval rulership, Emily Joan Ward exposes the problematic nature of working from the assumption that kingship equated to adult power. Children's participation and political assent could be important facets of the day-to-day activities of rule, as this study shows through an examination of royal charters, oaths to young boys, cross-kingdom diplomacy and coronation. The first comparative and thematic study o…

  • Henry III

    Open AccessEmily Joan WardARTICLEThe English Historical Review2021

    David Carpenter’s biography of King Henry III (1216–1272) has been three decades in the making and eagerly anticipated by scholars of thirteenth-century England for almost as long. This book, the first of two volumes, follows Henry from his birth at the royal castle of Winchester through to the momentous collapse of his personal rule in the most infamous year of his reign.

He recorded the name of the king, Henry I, and he interlined the styles and surnames of the witnesses in French fashion; but the anomalous feature is the script. Nearly sixty years after the Norman Conquest, in the reign of the third Norman king, a scribe at the heart of the Anglo-Norman es…

  • Anne of Kiev ( c .1024- c .1075) and a reassessment of maternal power in the minority kingship of Philip I of France

    Open AccessEmily Joan WardARTICLEHistorical Research2016Cited by: 2

    This article is a reassessment of Anne of Kiev as mother and guardian in the early years of the minority reign of her son, Philip I of France. The available chronicle evidence is re-examined and more emphasis is given to documentary sources which have previously been disregarded or overlooked. The article addresses outdated judgements about Anne's role which are still prevalent in the historiography and aims finally to put them to rest, while arg…
