The large foreign entourage that Joan brought with her to England, and her family ties across the Channel, made her unpopular with her subjects and her loyalties suspect, provoking several purges of her household and culminating in a charge of treason on which she was detained for several years. Yet Joan returned to court in her later years and fought vociferously to the end to retain queenly rights, revenues, and position. Ultimately, this book highlights Joan's political agency and tenacity, bringing her out of the historical shadows and into the foreground of high politics in fifteenth-century England and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJoan of Navarre \u003c\/i\u003eis a useful resource for all students and scholars interested in queenship studies, women's history, and European politics during the later Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElena Woodacre\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Reader in Renaissance History at the University of Winchester.
