Conclusion<br/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Yolande of Aragon is one of the most intriguing of late medieval queens who contrived to be everywhere and nowhere simultaneously; operating seamlessly from backstage and front-of-house. She was shrewd, focused and intelligent - an éminence grise whose political and diplomatic agency secured the throne of France for her son-in-law, Charles VII, and the survival of her marital house. Rohr's work is a long-anticipated and much-needed scholarly assessment of an incredibly powerful and influential figure of fifteenth century history who just happened to be a queen.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Rohr gives scholars and students of medieval France, queens and the practice of queenship a much richer, more nuanced, more meaningful portrait of a complex historic tapestry." (Theresa Earenfight, French History, Vol. 31 (1), March, 2017)</p>"Continuing the recent trend toward writing biographies of lesser-known female political figures, Zita Eva Rohr has privileged her readers in Yolande of Aragon (1381-1442) Family and Power with an in-depth look into the life and times of Yolande. ... a well-written and researched insight into the activities of the house of Valois-Anjou from 1380 to 1442, a house and historical period which have desperately needed more focused analyses such as this."

Whaley, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 3 (2), 2016) <p></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Zita Eva Rohr is Researcher and Tutor attached to the Department of History at The University of Sydney, Australia.
