Yolande of Aragon (1381-1442) Family and Power [PDF ebook] 
The Reverse of the Tapestry

Yolande of Aragon is one of the most intriguing of late medieval queens who contrived to be everywhere and nowhere, operating seamlessly from backstage and center stage. She is acknowledged as having been shrewd and intelligent – an éminence grise whose political and diplomatic agency secured the throne of France for her son-in-law, Charles VII.
