HIST 307: Women in Medieval Europe,

c. 1000-1500
Have you ever wondered what historical figures
inspired the characters of Daenarys Targaryen
or the White Queen? In this course, we will explore the fascinating and dynamic world of
medieval women by looking at the culture, art,
literature, politics, and religion of medieval Europe during the period from c. 1000-1500. We
will examine the daily experience of medieval
women from all walks of life--whether peasant
or Queen, nun or prostitute--examining how their
lives differed from their contemporaries and
how they differ from our own lives in the present.
Finally, we will look at the concept of medieval
women throughout history, examining how depictions of historical women fit into our modern
fantasy of the medieval world.
