| Contrary to the general opinion by previous research that widows played only a subdued role in the history of German medieval literature, this article demonstrates theat the opposite was often the case. focusing on "Diu Klage", Kudrun, and Mai and Beaflot among other texts, this investigation brings to light that the authors, and so also their audiences, mostly considered the widow, especially when she held the rank of queen, as the most powerful and respectful person in the country. The testimony of late-medieval German literature, however suggests that since 1400 a profund change took place. since then we come across basically only widows as rulers who need help by the mend and experience many tragedies and dangers undermining their political position | |
