Through financial, religious, and cultural patronage, Anne rewarded supporters and servants and influenced court life. The examination of sources such as a letter from Anne to her half brother, and an apothecary bill that contains some fertility medicines suggests that the queen both desired and tried to have children. As such, the volume questions the public imagination of Anne and shows that, in this example, although she died childless, Anne and Richard attempted to have children throughout their marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0px; font-family: __Inter_f40569, __Inter_Fallback_f40569; font-size: 15.4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0px; font-family: __Inter_f40569, __Inter_Fallback_f40569; font-size: 15.4px;\"\u003eWith the inclusion of tables listing Anne's acts of intercession and her land holdings and land grants, \u003ci style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eAnne of Bohemia \u003c\/i\u003eis a useful tool for students and scholars interested in queenship studies, medieval women's history, and the history of the English monarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Title:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anne of Bohemia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kristen L.
