The Dogaressa of Venice, 1200-1500: Wives and Icons

by Holly S. Hurlburt

This book focuses on the identity and public personae of the dogaressa, wives of the elected doges of medieval and early modern Venice. The study traces the evolution of the public functions of the group of quasi-royal wives, rare for their visibility, during Venice's development into a regional economic and political power.
