The Plantagenet Queens of England reigned over the middle ages. Some went on crusade, some marched to battle alongside their kings and one overthrew her husband and took control of England herself. The Plantagenet Queens consort were:
Berengaria of Navarre
Isabella of Angoulême
Eleanor of Provence
Eleanor of Castile
Margaret of France
Isabella of France
Philippa of Hainault
The lives of the many Kings and handful of Queens Regnant who have held dominion over the kingdom of England, and later the United Kingdom take center stage in history. But the lives of their spouses and mothers are often relegated to the wings. In this series we will learn the stories of the many Queens Consort and the handful of male consorts who have been at the monarchs’ sides. Through love, hate, adultery and sometimes murder these women and men have played vital roles in the history of England.
