Packed with dramatic true stories from one of European history's most romantic and turbulent eras, this epic narrative chronicles the five Plantagenet queens of England between 1299 and 1409, from the New York Times bestselling author hailed as "the finest historian of English monarchical succession writing" (The Boston Globe).
"A thorough and illuminating survey of the Plantagenet dynasty."--Publishers Weekly
Marguerite of France was twenty when she married sixty-year-old King Edward I.
Isabella of France, later known as "the She Wolf," dethroned her husband, Edward II, and ruled England with her lover. In contrast,
Philippa of Hainault was a popular queen to the deposed king's son Edward III.
Anne of Bohemia was queen to Richard II, but she died young and childless.
Isabella of Valois became Richard's second wife when she was six years old, only to see him violently overthrown. This was a chaotic and brutal age, despite its chivalric color and ethos, and it stands as an arresting setting for the extraordinary stories of these queens' lives. Don't miss any of Alison Weir's fascinating England's Medieval Queens series:
QUEENS OF THE CONQUEST - QUEENS OF THE CRUSADES - QUEENS OF THE AGE OF CHIVALRY - QUEENS AT WAR
