This year's annual conference of the Society for Court Studies aims to study women at the top of this public sphere, by looking at The Role of the Consort. (Of course, men were occasionally consorts, such as George of Denmark, Queen Anne's husband; but as the life of Elizabeth I shows, it was hard for reigning queens to find a suitable consort.) Topics to be addressed include: the consort's political role and influence; the consort as an instrument of dynastic diplomacy; the consort's powers of patronage; the consort in opposition to the royal mistress; the consort as mother and educator; the consort's reputation; and the consort and visual representations.
