Krátky popis
In 1187 Saladin's armies besieged the holy city of Jerusalem. He
had previously annihilated Jerusalem's army at the battle of
Hattin, and behind the city's high walls a last-ditch defence was
being led by an unlikely trio - including Sibylla, Queen of
Jerusalem. They could not resist Saladin, but, if they were lucky,
they could negotiate terms that would save the lives of the city's
inhabitants.Queen Sibylla was the last of a line of formidable
female rulers in the Crusader States of Outremer. Yet for all the
many books written about the Crusades, one aspect is conspicuously
absent: the stories of women. Queens and princesses tend to be
presented as passive transmitters of land and royal blood.In
reality, women ruled, conducted diplomatic negotiations, made
military decisions, forged alliances, rebelled, and undertook
architectural projects. Sibylla's grandmother Queen Melisende was
the first queen to seize real political agency in Jerusalem and
rule in her own right. She outmanoeuvred both her husband and son
to seize real power in her kingdom, and was a force to be reckoned
with in the politics of the medieval Middle East.The lives of her
Armenian mother, her three sisters, and their daughters and
granddaughters were no less intriguing. The lives of this
trailblazing dynasty of royal women, and the crusading Queen
Eleanor of Aquitaine, are the focus of Katherine Pangonis's debut
book. In QUEENS OF JERUSALEM she explores the role women played in
the governing of the Middle East during periods of intense
instability, and how they persevered to rule and seize greater
power for themselves when the opportunity presented itself.
