A colorful biography of five royal sisters in medieval England. In 1254 the teenage heir to the English throne took a Spanish bride, the sister of the king of Castile, in Burgos. Their marriage of thirty-six years proved to be one of the great royal romances of the Middle Ages. Edward I of England and Leonor of Castile had at least fourteen children together, though only six survived into adulthood, five of them daughters. Daughters of Edward I traces the lives of these five capable, independent women, including Joan of Acre, born in the Holy Land, who defied her father by marrying a second husband of her own choice, and Mary, who did not let her forced veiling as a nun stand in the way of the life she really wanted to live. These women’s stories span the decades from the 1260s to the 1330s, through the long reign of their father, the turbulent reign of their brother Edward II, and into the reign of their nephew, the child-king Edward III.

Bogen formår at få historiske personers liv fra 1300-tallet til at virke helt aktuelt. Det bliver levende igen på en fed måde - og dejligt, at der endelig tages udgangspunkt i historiske kvinder! Ja, der er skrevet mere om og med og af mænd, og de største kvindelige historiske personager ER dækket ind. Men her får du et indblik i en håndfuld kvinder, du ellers aldrig ville høre om. Og du begynder at tænke på, hvad man kan deducere om en personlighed ud fra dokumenter.
