For fans of Alison Weir and Antonia Fraser, acclaimed author Nancy
Goldstone's thrilling history of the royal daughters who succeeded
in ruling--and shaping--thirteenth-century Europe
Set against the backdrop of the thirteenth century, a time of
chivalry and crusades, troubadors, knights and monarchs, "Four
Queens" is the story of four provocative sisters--Marguerite,
Eleanor, Sanchia, and Beatrice of Provence--who rose from near
obscurity to become the most coveted and powerful women in Europe.
Each sister in this extraordinary family was beautiful, cultured,
and accomplished but what made these women so remarkable was that
each became queen of a principal European power--France, England,
Germany and Sicily. During their reigns, they exercised
considerable political authority, raised armies, intervened
diplomatically and helped redraw the map of Europe. Theirs is a
drama of courage, sagacity and ambition that re-examines the
concept of leadership in the Middle Ages.
