A new look at the history of powerful dynasties, full of intertwining, mysterious coincidences, tragedies, and feats.
Five rulers of the 16th century, five contemporaries, who lived in the same reality: Moscow Tsar Ivan IV, Queen Elizabeth I of England, Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland, King Philip II of Spain, Queen Catherine de' Medici of France, - carefully took care to pass on power to their heirs and ensure the future of glorious dynasties, so that the illustrious lineage would not be interrupted. But such is the game of fate - they all became the last, the brightest flashes, after which their dynasties soon came to an end.
Screenwriter, historian, blogger, and author of the bestseller 'The Queen's Move: How Ivan the Terrible Courted Queen Elizabeth' Irina Belova-Fliera will guide readers through the tangled relationships of great monarchs and point out all the threads that connected their complicated destinies.
- What will the next step, the choice, and decision of a monarch lead to?
- How to know if the choice of a spouse is right?
- Where do the events come from that become turning points in history and destiny? And what of these events does the person control and create? And what is the result of fortunate or fateful circumstances?
By delving into the intertwining of fates, into the parallel lives of the rulers of the most vibrant era in history, into their hopes and how they chose and made mistakes, we will be able to recreate the past as a voluminous reality and, perhaps, unravel the mystery of choice, the mystery of the rulers' destiny, and the mystery of each person's destiny. Specially selected illustrations will allow you to immerse yourself more deeply in the world of dynastic intrigues and tragedies.
