This is getting much better. There's lots on the Queens for example. Natasha Hodgson, Danielle Park and many others doing well!

Hodgson is coming up everywhere. So many possible ways into this. Military, nursing, logistics, propaganda, symbolism.

Absolutely! You may also consider female perception of the 'other' and the Muslim vs Christian dichotomy.

Yep. I see Guibert of Nogent gives us the Christian helpmeet of man vs the Muslim nymphomaniacal baby-abandoner.

Thank you! I've tended to look at how women used religious narratives to negotiate authority & autonomy for selves. 1300-1700

Which is not to suggest they were not sincere. I usually end up arguing against ppl who see religion merely as a code.

Ha. So do I! You see sincerity in medieval 12th and 13th century heresy all the time.
