“Shelley Bouhack in her book, The Dark Queens, points out how extraordinary this is. She writes, when Brunhild assumed the regency for her two grandsons, she ushered in one of the most unusual periods of European history, one of dual female rule.”

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: rivalry between queens
For: Historians and readers interested in medieval history
Key quote: “I will quote from the dark queens by shelly puhak which is a wonderful account of the rivalry between these two queens.”
The host mentions 'The Dark Queens' to provide a detailed narrative of the fierce rivalry between Fredegund and Brunhild, two powerful figures in early medieval history. This book serves as a significant resource for understanding their complex lives and the historical context in which they existed.
