Summary:

In this, the first full-length, gender-inclusive study of the Howard family, one of the pre-eminent families of early-modern Britain, Nicola Clark argues that a nuanced understanding of women's agency, dynastic identity, and politics allows us to more fully understand the political, social, religious, and cultural history of early-modern Britain.
