Au Moyen Âge, les faucons offraient aux femmes des moyens à la fois symboliques et concrets d’affirmer leur genre, leur pouvoir et leur statut dans un monde dominé par les hommes.
Hawks offered women both real and symbolic means to express gender, power and status within a male-dominated world.
As creators of educational, religious and charitable institutions, women of means found ways to circumvent the patriarchal power structures of medieval society.
Beaufort’s presence at Collyweston formed part of a strategic plan, devised by mother and son, to exert royal influence both locally and nationally.
