Publications

Gabrielle has published on Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Berengaria of Navarre, and Joanna of Sicily, and is currently working on her first book for trade.

Her first book, a biography of Berengaria of Navarre for Routledge’s Lives of Royal Women series, was published in June 2024. Berengaria of Navarre: Queen of England and Lord of Le Mans presents a new perspective on the life of one of England’s ‘forgotten queens’, bringing to light fresh evidence and providing a richly detailed and accessible biography for those interested in medieval queens.

Gabrielle is also developing further projects on monarchy and sexuality, as well as looking at female power and authority in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and the impact of gender and sexuality on this.

Her other forthcoming publications include an edited collection on royal sexualities, a work on royal mothers and daughters-in-law, alongside articles on the legacies of queenship and kingly sexuality.
