As the result of the analysis the author of teh article comes to the conclusion that the representation of female images in the book dedicated to the events of the era of the Troubles is determined three main principles: gender complementarity, reflectivity and dependency. The dichotomy of images of a spouse of true and false kings with their motive characteristics has its origin in general Christian topos - opposition of a good and an evil wife, but it is reinterpreted according to specific historical events.
