«As Damas do Séc. XII» is the second volume of Georges Duby's historical essay, published by Teorema in paperback, in Portuguese.
Duby examines the lives of noble women of the twelfth century through a commemorative genre that praised female ancestors. The work analyses in three parts the role of ancestors in social cohesion, that of wives and concubines in wars and successions, and the image of women as wives, mothers and widows in medieval chroniclers.
This work is part of the series «Dames du XIIe siècle»; its original French title is «Dames du XIIe siècle, Tome 2: Le Souvenir des Aïeules».
