520    When Edward VI died in 1553, the extraordinary fact was 
       that there was no one left to claim the title of king of 
       England. For the first time, England would have a reigning
       queen, but the question was which one: Katherine of 
       Aragon's daughter, Mary; Anne Boleyn's daughter, 
       Elizabeth; or one of their cousins, Lady Jane Grey or Mary,
       Queen of Scots. But female rule in England also had a 
       past. Four hundred years before Edward's death, Matilda, 
       daughter of Henry I and granddaughter of William the 
       Conqueror, came tantalizingly close to securing the crown 
       for herself. And between the twelfth and fifteenth 
       centuries three more exceptional women -- Eleanor of 
       Aquitaine, Isabella of France, and Margaret of Anjou -- 
       discovered how much was possible if pre-sumptions of male 
       rule were not confronted so explicitly, and just how 
       quickly they might be vilified as "she-wolves" for their 
       pains. The stories of these women, told here in all their 
       vivid detail, expose the paradox that female heirs to the 
       Tudor throne had no choice but to negotiate. Man was the 
       head of woman, and the king was the head of all. How, then,
       could royal power lie in female hands? - Publisher.
