Paperback -SUMMARY The contributions of this special issue proceedings of the conference on royal nunneries that took place in Prague in July 2020 focus on the monasteries connected to the ruling houses, which were endowed with special privileges and enriched by royal and aristocratic donations, often serving as instrumenta regni.

This includes female monasteries, the agency of female élites in medieval society and their role as patrons and addressees of works of art.
