About this book

Brunhild, raised as a princess, and Fredegund, formerly enslaved in a palace, rose to power in sixth-century Merovingian France. Shelley Puhak’s historical account examines their rule in a society that excluded women from noble succession. Their negotiations, military authority, alliances, and family losses form a study of female power and the hostile reputations attached to it.
