OUTRAGEOUS QUEENS
Book ID/图书代码: 11712019C00008
English Summary/英文概要: At least one of these words is descriptive of each of the dozen royal women whose lives are told in this book. All make fascinating psychological studies of women who wielded immense power in a world where liberty for women was an undreamed of concept. Yet they proved that when it came to intrigue – sometimes up to the point of assassination – they were equal to any male monarch of their times.
Some played the role of warrior queens – red-haired Boudicca whose vengeance cost over a hundred thousand lives, the evidence of which is still to be found beneath the City of London; Eleanor of Aquitaine who took her “Amazons” on a crusade to Outremer; Henrietta Maria, the “generalissima” who led an army in the Civil War. The infamous Queen Mary who earned her epithet of “Bloody” through the Smithfield burnings, or the murderous Elfrida who changed history when she “trimmed and decked herself in the most costly and shewing apparell” to meet Edgar the Peaceful, or Isabella – the She Wolf of France – whose despised husband met one of the most horrific deaths in history.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在这本书中,至少有一个词描述了十几位皇室女性的生活。所有这些研究都对女性进行了引人入胜的心理学研究,研究她们在一个女性自由是做梦也想不到的世界里拥有巨大权力的女性。然而,他们证明,在阴谋诡计方面——有时甚至到了暗杀的地步——他们与当时的任何男性君主都是平等的。
有些人扮演武士女王的角色——红头发的布迪卡,他的复仇牺牲了超过10万人的生命,其证据仍在伦敦城地下发现;阿基坦的埃莉诺带着她的“亚马逊人”去了基督教;亨丽埃塔•玛丽亚,在内战中领导军队的“总司令”。臭名昭著的玛丽女王通过史密斯菲尔德爆炸事件获得了“血腥”称号,或改变了历史的杀人狂埃尔弗里达,或伊莎贝拉——鄙视丈夫遇到了史上最可怕的死亡。(WYL )
