The Archaeology and Material Culture of Queenship in Medieval Hungary, 1000–1395
This book explores an alternate history of the power and agency of 30 Hungarian queens over 400 years by a rigorous examination of the material culture connected with their lives. By researching the objects, images, and spaces, it demonstrates how these women expressed and displayed their power. Queens used material culture and space not only to demonstrate their own power to a wide, international audience, but also to consolidate their own position when it was weakened by external circumstances. Both the public and private image of the queen factors significantly in understanding in her own role at the strongly centralized Hungarian court, and, moreover, how her position and person strengthened and complemented that of the king.

The Making of Memory in the Middle Ages
Memory in the Middle Ages has received particular attention in recent decades; yet; the topic remains difficult to grasp and the research on it rather fragmented. This book gathers particular case studies on memory in different parts of medieval Europe and in a variety of fields including literatures, languages, manuscript studies, history, history of ideas, philosophy, social history and art history. The studies address, on the one hand, memory as means of storing and recuperating knowledge (arts of memory and memory aids), and, on the other hand, memory as remembering and constructing the past (including the subject of forgetting). It should be useful to all interested in medieval culture, literature and history. Contributors are Milena Bartlová, Bergsveinn Birgisson, Irene Bueno, Vincent Challet, Greti Dinkova-Bruun, Lucie Doležalová, Dávid Falvay, Carmen Florea, Cédric Giraud, Laura Iseppi de Filippis, Farkas Gábor Kiss, Rüdiger Lorenz, Else Mundal, Előd Nemerkényi, William J. Purkis, Slavica Ranković, Lucia Raspe, Kimberly Rivers, Victoria Smirnova, Francesco Stella, Péter Tóth, Tamás Visi, Jon Whitman and Rafał Wójcik.

Dvě studie k pozdně středověké historiografii
Jak název knihy napovídá, obsahuje dvě studie z oboru historiografie. První se věnuje pozdně středověké oficiální historiografii, která byla psána z pověření panovníků a představitelů států a měst a sloužila k legitimizaci jejich vlády, ospravedlnění jejich politiky a ideologické propagandě. Autorka zkoumá postavení oficiálních historiků v různých prostředích, na panovnických a šlechtických dvorech, v italských městských komunách a bohatých říšských městech, popisuje, v jakých podmínkách pracovali, a pokud to prameny umožňují, tak i jak byli odměňováni. Druhá studie se zabývá dnes nepříliš známým, ale v pozdním středověku oblíbeným spisem Cronica Boemorum Anonymi (Anonymova kronika Čechů, zvaná též „Od Čecha a Lecha“), který zachycuje stručné české dějiny od mytických počátků až na práh husitské revoluce.
