The Marriage Charter of Empress Theophanu

 Welcome back to the first post-plague edition of Women on Top! Over the next few months, we'll be sharing The Queen's Wardrobe, a series of article-length profiles of objects intimately linked to medieval queens and queenship, delving into how they were made, what functions they served, and what they tell us about the intersection of women and power in the medieval world. Our first article, on the imperial mosaics of S. Vitale in Ravenna, will appear tomorrow--stay tuned!
