"It provides fascinating insights into medieval family structures, the manipulation of saints′ cults, the nature of royal estates and patronage, to name but a few of its themes. Anyone who wants to understand the power structures of the early Middle Ages will want to read it." (History)
"The stories of Queen Emma and Queen Edith are satisfyingly rich in the telling in Pauline Stafford′s latest book, Queen Emma and Queen Edith. The sources which provide these riches are varied and Stafford′s use of them masterly." (Parergon)
