What was life like for a queen in the Middle Ages?

Answer 1

Medieval queens had to be prepared to rule on behalf of their husbands or sons. Sometimes they actually ruled themselves on their own account. They had to be ready to do all the things a monarch did. So they had to keep up on politics, diplomacy, economics, relations with the nobility, relations with the Church and its leaders, the state of the military, and so on. They might be required to be active in any of these areas. There were a number of medieval queens who negotiated treaties, dealt with tax laws or lead armies in battle.

Their private lives varied from one to another, just as the lives of common people did. Some queens had children they doted on. Others had no children at all. Some loved music or literature. Some attended to the needs of the poor and visited monasteries to see that the hospitals they ran had all the things they needed. Some liked hunting or falconing. Some liked to dance. I have never heard of it being done, but it would not surprise me to hear that a medieval queen weeded her own garden.
