Welcome to History of Royal Women!
My name is Moniek and I am the editor of History of Royal Women. I live in Arnhem in the Netherlands. My interest began with Anne Boleyn and the Tudor times, but it greatly expanded over time as I found more and more admirable women in other countries and kingdoms. I enjoy visiting the places where these women lived and died and I love reading about them.

Amy
My name is Amy, I live in Manchester in the United Kingdom. I am currently a third year History student and hope to carry on with post-graduate study next year. History has always been my one true love! The Early-Modern period is my preferred era, in particular the Seventeenth Century. I am always drawn to anything to do with the Holy Roman Empire, especially roles for women under the Empire. I spend my spare time with my family at our allotment and watching lots of period dramas and historical TV shows.

Raluca
Hi, my name is Raluca and I live in Bucharest, Romania. I am passionate about history since childhood and I am an avid reader of royal biographies. This interest started when I was 14 years old and I travelled with my parents to Sinaia, the summer residence city of the Romanian royal family. There, in one summer, I read the memoirs of Queen Marie of Romania while watching from the window of my hotel room the majestic scenery of Peles Castle. It was the beginning of a lifetime love story with royalty and history. Aside from this, I am also interested in all things related to Middle East and I have studied some Arabic language. I love travelling and experiencing new cultures and I believe learning and reading are the royal road to…happiness.
