About This Book

The study traces the life and milieu of a princess born after her father's death and raised in a grieving court under regency tensions. It reconstructs her childhood and marriage negotiations amid rival kingdoms, detailing courtly culture, ceremonies of chivalry, and the influence of powerful nobles. The account examines political maneuvering, suspected poisonings, and competing claims that shaped alliances and conflicts, and uses episodes of personal tragedy and public spectacle to illuminate the complexities of succession politics and the constrained roles available to royal women.
