The medieval concept of feminine sovereignty is pertinent to our study of The Throne of Destiny:

"Around c. 1380-1400, the issue of feminine sovereignty was addressed in Geoffrey Chaucer's Middle English collection of Canterbury Tales, specifically in The Wife of Bath's Tale. A later English Arthurian romance, The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell (c. 1450) uses much of the same elements of the Wife of Bath's tale, yet changes the setting to the court of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The story revolves around the knight Sir Gawain granting to Dame Ragnell, his new bride, what is purported to be wanted most by women: sovereignty.

We desire most from men,
From men both rich and poor,
To have sovereignty without lies.
For where we have sovereignty, all is ours,
Though a knight be ever so fierce,
And ever win mastery.
It is our desire to have master
Over such a sir.
Such is our purpose.
—The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell."

The concept of Sovereignty implies the quality or authority of being independent and in charge of the conditions under which you live.
Sovereignty refers to legally and practically arranging your affairs in such a way that you are in charge of your life, and prepared for challenges to freedom. Sovereignty carries with it responsibility.
