English Summary/英文概要: A lushly beautiful tale of Isabella of Angouleme, overflowing with medieval magic and set against the vivid backdrop of medieval Europe. For fans of Philippa Gregory and Elizabeth Chadwick.
The year is 1199, and King Richard the Lionheart is dead, leaving his brother John to inherit both his French and English lands. Young Isabelle of Angoulême is betrothed to the son of her father’s enemy, Hugh de Lusignan, and taken to his castle to be educated, where she is initiated into the ‘Old Religion’. Isabelle is then told that she is to be married not to Hugh de Lusignan but to King John of England, in a complex and treacherous plot to gain the English succession.
The Lusignans envisage an empire ruled by their young puppet queen, which will eventually
oust Christianity and restore the Old Religion to Europe. But when Isabelle takes matters into
her own hands, passions will rage and dynastic fortunes will rise and fall.
Set against the vivid backdrop of the great political struggles of medieval Europe, The Stolen
Queen will delight lovers of intrigue and adventure.
