Scotland’s Medieval Queens: From Saint Margaret to Margaret of Denmark Hardcover – March 30, 2025
Purchase options and add-ons
Scotland’s history is dramatic, violent and bloody.
Being England’s northern neighbour has never been easy.
Scotland’s queens have had to deal with war, murder, imprisonment, political rivalries and open betrayal. They have loved and lost, raised kings and queens, ruled and died for Scotland.
From St Margaret, who became one of the patron saints of Scotland, to Elizabeth de Burgh and the dramatic story of the Scottish Wars of Independence, to the love story and tragedy of Joan Beaufort, to Margaret of Denmark and the dawn of the Renaissance, Scotland’s Medieval Queens have seen it all.
This is the story of Scotland through their eyes.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025Format: KindleI found this very readable. Bennett didn't talk down to me, she made these ladies' stories come alive, in language I can understand. It's not at all dry and dusty but alive. Understandably, sources are not easy to come by, and I appreciate that she tells me when she is making educated guesses. My period of British history is the seventeenth century, so it is a tribute to her that I am now reading about medieval GB. Well done! Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2025Format: KindleScotland’s medieval queens faced war, betrayal, and tragedy. From St. Margaret to Margaret of Denmark, they loved, lost, ruled, and died for their nation. This book explores Scotland’s dramatic medieval history through their eyes.
This book is interesting and provides a good overview of medieval Scottish history. It’s written in such a way that the story of each queen can be read independently. For this reason, some information is repeated (for instance, the story of a king might be told in both his mother’s and his wife’s chapters).
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
