Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1501, Anne of Brittany devises the perfect match for her only child by Louis XII, King of France. Their daughter will become the most powerful woman in Europe if she marries the future Holy Roman Emperor. But Louis balks. Instead, he wishes her to marry his successor. How else to keep his own bloodline on the throne Anne is incensed. Why should her daughter not rule Brittany one day as her successor Better to be a decision maker as ruler of Brittany, where women are not forbidden to rule, than only to sit next to France’s future king as queen-consort, bereft of political power. Anne wants Louis to stay out of Italy, but Louis is determined to gain a foothold there for France. Joining Ferdinand of Spain in a secret pact to partition southern Italy, Louis soon discovers, with devastating results, the age of chivalry is over.As lovers, Anne and Louis are in accord. As rulers, their aims differ. Who will prevail Book Three of the Anne of Brittany Series brings alive Anne of Brittany's story to modern readers in an accessible and historically accurate way.This late medieval to early Renaissance ruler of Brittany provides a strong role model to women in leadership positions today. A rigorous proponent of the education of women, Anne of Brittany was also one of Europe's biggest patrons of the arts, largely responsible for bringing the Italian Renaissance to France and to Brittany, which was an independent realm during her lifetime, from 1477-1514. She is the only woman in history who was twice crowned Queen of France.Anne of Brittany's story should be included in any European historical fiction collection. The Anne of Brittany Series should be categorized with historical fiction works by authors such as Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, and Antonia Fraser. Readers of Tudor history, in particular, will enjoy expanding their knowledge of historical figures in Brittany and France who ruled during the Tudor era.It is interesting to note that Anne of Brittany's father, Francis II, Duke of Brittany, provided shelter and support to Henry Tudor during his years of exile in Brittany before ascending the English throne in 1485, marking the start of the modern age. Brittany itself maintains a strong Celtic identity since the 8th century when it was settled by explorers from Wales and Cornwall.…
