Queens of Jerusalem: the women who dared to rule with Katherine Pangonis

The lives of this trailblazing dynasty of royal women, and the crusading Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, are the focus of Katherine Pangonis's book. In QUEENS OF JERUSALEM we explored the role women played in the governing of the Middle East during periods of intense instability, and how they persevered to rule and seize greater power for themselves when the opportunity presented itself. Our conversation will take you through the history of Crusader Jerusalem and its queens, from Melisende to Sibylla, from their rise to power and the eventual fall of Jerusalem in 1187. Originally published on 05/22/2022Welcome to Jerusalem Unplugged Podcast.
