We have been busy putting together resource packs on medieval women for teachers and students, all free to access, download and use in the classroom.
Animated Short: Corporate Monarchy
Teaching Medieval Women is pleased to present our latest animated short which unpacks the term ‘Corporate Monarchy’ – or how monarchs relied on others, particularly their queen consorts or queen regents to rule.
