Description
-
This illumination depicts Queen Joanna of Jerusalem and Sicily sitting on a throne with her subjects surrounding her. She is depicted wearing a crown to demonstrate her royal status. Her subjects appear to be handing her gifts. Boccaccio explains that Joanna was a praiseworthy subject to write on as she was an impressive ruler which was not common for women during her time.
