"[This book] is a testament to the intriguing and valuable research being undertaken in premodern history, and in particular, of royal studies at present, and a fine example of diligent scholarship on the part of its contributors. The book’s content is stimulating and thought-provoking and bodes well not only for the accompanying titles of the Gender and Power in the Premodern World series, but also for the future of research in the field. Well worth a read."

"What is remarkable about the volume is that despite being absent from historical records and subjected to patriarchal prejudice, the women studied here made themselves known through economic power. [...] The fascinating and well-researched articles in Women and Economic Power in Premodern Royal Courts present a clear picture of women's considerable economic skills in premodern royal courts. Kings, it would seem, were often more reliant on their queens and mistresses for financial advice than has been previously considered."
