About this book
THE SUBORDINATION of Yorkist and early Tudor aristocratic women to their male kin rested on an interlocking series of economic, legal, and political institutions, the most fundamental of which were the common law, with its doctrine of coverture; a primogenital inheritance system reinforced by male entail; and a system of arranged marriages based on the dowry and jointure.
