The book will discuss the life of Joan of Acre,§daughter of King Edward I of England. Joan was used§in the arrangement of marriage alliances to enhance§Edward s sphere of influence. When her first husband,§an important nobleman, Gilbert de Clare, died, Joan§maintained the estate since the couple shared control§of the Clare lands. She recognized her newfound§power and influence and refused to be a political§player once again in her father s machinations. Joan§shows that the idea of women as the brides of Christ§or as the instrument of the devil was not as§clear-cut for women of the upper nobility as it first§appears to be. In fact, it may not hold true for§upper noblewomen at all. Joan s story also sheds§light on medieval marriage, widowhood, and how women§functioned within the feudal system.
