Looking forward to reading this journal issue Women's History Review on premodern #queenship & #diplomacy , ed. by Louise J. Wilkinson & Sara Wolfson! I'll certainly make use of it in my current research on the diplomatic roles of Marguerite de Valois, Maria de' Medici & Henrietta Maria.

I should just add that there are some splendid #queenship articles by some of my favourite scholars:

Look what was sitting in my postbox Sara Wolfson: our SI on Premodern #Queenship and Diplomacy…

Est-ce que quelqu'un sait si la paix de Saint-Germain (1570) comprenait un article secret qui prévoyait le mariage de Marguerite de Valois avec Henri de Navarre (1572)? Merci pour vos réponses🙏

(Miniature: Charles IX et Catherine de Médicis publiant la paix de S-G Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon).
