In the recent years, queenship has interested and fascinated numerous scholars.(1) While some queens, notably British and French ones, have already received interest from historians, this study is keen on shedding light on the female rulers of the Mediterranean. From Sicily to Aragon, the chapters of this collection focus on queen consorts, regents, and sometimes regnant who have influenced in different ways the history of their realms and played an important role in the public sphere as well as on the political scene. Through chronicles, manuscripts, letters, and other sorts of primary sources, the authors reveal the political roles of the queens and as Elena Woodacre explains 'how these women spread the culture of the Mediterranean northwards through their marital and familial connections' (p. 1). Set up chronologically, the edited collection starts with the medieval era and ends with the 18th century.
