The love of the queen

The book tells the story of the lives of eighteen women - queens, famous for their beauty and love stories. Four millennia of history - a chronicle of love and life stretches from Egypt, Byzantium, China to the shores of the Seine and the Thames. The reader will be introduced to fascinating stories: the struggle of Fredegund against Brunhilda, the bloody reign of the concubine of the Chinese emperor, the disappointments of Eleanor of Aquitaine - twice queen, the madness of Juana, the unfortunate mother of Charles V, and the sad love of Carolina-Matilda, a prisoner of Kronberg. Masterfully written with a romantic pen by the talented historian Juliette Benzoni, the life adventures of the queens immerse us in a dramatic epic: love and hatred, ambition and crime go hand in hand with madness and state interests.
