    Many powerful women of the Middle Ages ruled as monarchs or queens to help to help the king and other nobility with conflict and provide an heir to the throne. Eleanor of Aquitaine shows a great example as she became wealthy at the age of fifteen, and soon after became the queen of France and queen of England. She accompanied kings as they conquered great historical lands and bore many children to continue their legacy. Eleanor of Aquitaine held great responsibility at a young age, giving her the experience to rule with an iron fist. She became her father’s heir presumably at the age of five and she inherited her father’s title and extensive lands upon his death when she was fifteen, making her duchess of Aquitaine and one of the most powerful…

    In Document 9, William Tooker explains a procedure called the "royal touch" which cures certain diseases and sicknesses. He mentions that Elizabeth I "often" performed this procedure, thus showing her motherly care for her people because she healed her people. Since William Tooker is the personal chaplain of Elizabeth I, he sees this procedure done first-hand. Additionally, William Clowes of Document 10 hopes that Elizabeth I has "long life" because she still has to "heal many thousands more." This indicates that Elizabeth I was a great leader, even as a female, because he prays that she has a longer life, but if she wasn't a great leader, he wouldn't have wanted her to reign longer.…

The crisis that surrounded Mary’s marriage had very little to do with her but everything to do with her husband.…

    This is because in the recent years we have discovered that Queen Elizabeth’s reign was not only a politically successful reign, but also socially successful reign. This not only includes Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, but also Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Anne, and also Queen Victoria’s reign. This is because royal succession gender equality is now promoting feminism.
