Jacqueline Alio
Jacqueline Alio, a scholar specialized in Sicily's Middle Ages, has written extensively about the women of medieval Sicily. Margaret Queen of Sicily (New York, 2017) is the first biography of the regent who for five years was the most powerful woman in Europe and the Mediterranean.
Queens of Sicily 1061 - 1266 (New York, 2018) is a landmark reference work at 740 pages. This volume is the longest academic monograph ever written in English by a historian based in Sicily. It presents much original work, such as the first complete transcription and translation of the rite of coronation used for Sicilian queens.
The Ferraris Chronicle: Popes, Emperors, and Deeds in Apulia 1096-1228 is the first English translation of the Chronica Romanorum Pontificum et Imperatorum ac de Rebus in Apulia Gestis (or Chronicle of Santa Maria della Ferraria), written in a monastery near Naples in 1228 during the reign of Frederick II by a monk whom the monarch knew.
In a less academic vein, she wrote Women of Sicily: Saints, Queens and Rebels, a succinct compendium of concise biographies.
Ms Alio is the co-author of a book on the history of Sicilian cuisine, and she co-wrote The Peoples of Sicily: A Multicultural Legacy. She also co-authored Sicilian Studies: A Guide and Syllabus for Educators, and a volume for travelers that describes the history of twelfth-century Norman-Arab sights in Palermo, Monreale and Cefalù.
Among her distinctions and awards, she is recognized as a resource (speaker) by YPO, which held an event in Sicily in 2018 based on The Peoples of Sicily. She is a member of the Medieval Academy of America.
