Queen Isabella wore armor Did any other medieval Queens possibly for show effect?
It is known that Queen Elizabeth I. wore a cuirass and helmet as she adressed her troops in Tilbury, 1588. Queen-Consort Margaret of Anjou led a Lancastrian army herself during the War of the Roses, but we have no idea what she was wearing in the field. There are likely more examples the further you go back in history, as the role of female warriors and rulers was gradually reduced over time. Unfortunately, the further you go back, the less detailed the accounts become, so such things may be omitted from some. Even now we are still in the process of discovering new things from back then, so much information was lost. If you expand the question beyond queens and include lesser nobles, more examples can be found ... such as Countess Jehanne de Montfort - also known as "Jehanne la Flamme" because she torched the camp of an enemy army besieging her town of Hennebont.
Who was the person that rode on a white horse naked in the Middle Ages?
AnswerLady Godiva. Google Lady Godiva for more information. AnswerAccording to tradition, Lady Godiva was a countess of Mercia, married to Earl Leofric. She was upset because the people of Coventry were complaining about excessive taxation, and a appealed several times to Leofric to reduce their taxes. In time he got tired of her appeals and told her he would reduce the taxes when she rode naked through the town. Taking him at his word she did this. The story as it appears in the 17th century says that Godiva ordered the people to stay inside and shutter their windows as she rode, but a certain man named Tom drilled a peep hole in his shutter and watched her pass. Though she was covered to a great extent by her long hair, he was nonetheless struck blind (or dead) for his misdeed. He is remembered from the legend as Peeping Tom.The medieval tale differs in the respect that it has her assembling the people of Coventry to witness her ride, which she did accompanied by two knights.Regardless of the source of the legend, Leofric reduced the taxes.Godiva and Leofric were historical people. Godiva is particularly interesting for a couple of reasons. One is that she was a great benefactor of the public and the Church in her time, contributing much to both. Another interesting thing about her is that when Leofric died, she inherited his lands and retained them even after the Norman invasion. She was one of the few Anglo Saxon land owners to retain ownership, and she is said to have been the only woman to do so.The link below is to a Wikipedia article.
