While English queens and elite women have been very much part of this conversation, the elite women of the rest of the Atlantic archipelago have been rather left out. This paper, and the wider project of which it is a part seeks to bring the elite women of Britain and Ireland into an explicitly comparative frame, notwithstanding the significant disparity in both the quantity and texture of the sources available across the Insular world.
