Daughters of Chivalry: The Forgotten Children of Edward I by Kelcey Wilson-LeeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The amount of research that has gone into this book is incredible. I really enjoy the narratives of the sisters - especially Joanna. I am surprised by the amount of information that the author has managed to find in the historical records. This book actually tells the story of the daughters - it doesn't tell the story of the men that they are married to - it gives them their story. I've read many books about women throughout history who are rarely actually the focus of the text - despite being what the book was supposed to be about. I am looking forward to the next book by this author.
