Two years ago today I compiled a post exploring six of the blog posts I have written about women in honour of International Women’s Day. I decided today was a great chance to revisit this idea and have a look back at some of the fantastic women we have explored over the past few years. […]

Women of Just History Posts: International Women’s Day 2018

As today is International Women’s day, and women hold such a huge focus in my blog, I thought it would be remiss of me to not do a post to celebrate. Over the past year and a half I have written about plenty of amazing royal women, and I am hoping to soon expand into […]

Royal People: Isabella of France, “She-Wolf of England”

As my last blog post on medieval English royals was about a woman from my masters dissertation, I thought I would continue the trend and go back to my undergraduate dissertation for the next in the series. For this we go back to the previous century, the early fourteenth century, and look at the wife […]

Royal People: Eleanor Cobham, Royal Witch?

I thought it only fitting to write my first post about one of the women my recent Masters dissertation focused upon. Eleanor Cobham was a woman who lived in England during the fifteenth century. In 1428, she married Humphrey, the Duke of Gloucester, who was one of Henry V’s brothers, and uncle to the current […]
