The Lady Queen: The Notorious Reign of Joanna I, Queen of Naples, Jerusalem, and Sicily
Autor Nancy Goldstoneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2018
On
March
15,
1348,
twenty-two-year-old
Joanna
I,
Queen
of
Naples,
stood
trial
for
the
murder
of
her
husband
before
the
Pope
and
his
court
in
Avignon.
Determined
to
defend
herself,
Joanna
won
her
acquittal
against
overwhelming
odds.
Victorious,
she
returned
to
Naples
and
ruled
over
one
of
Europe's
most
prestigious
courts
for
the
next
three
decades
--
until
she
herself
was
killed.
Courageous
and
determined,
Joanna
was
the
only
female
monarch
in
her
time
to
rule
in
her
own
name.
She
was
widely
admired:
dedicated
to
the
welfare
of
her
subjects,
she
reduced
crime,
built
hospitals
and
churches,
and
encouraged
the
licensing
of
female
physicians.
A
procession
of
the
most
important
artists
and
writers
of
the
time
frequented
her
glittering
court.
But
she
never
quite
escaped
the
stain
of
her
husband's
death,
and
the
turmoil
of
the
times
surrounded
her
--
war,
plague,
and
treachery
would
ultimately
be
her
undoing.
With
skill,
passion,
and
impeccable
research
and
detail,
Nancy
Goldstone
brings
to
life
one
of
history's
most
remarkable
women.The
Lady
Queenis
a
captivating
portrait
of
medieval
royalty
in
all
its
incandescent
complexity.
