Book Description
An inspiring true story of how one princess changed the course of history! The Protestant Reformation started by Martin Luther in 1517 was growing. Jeanne D'Albret, a beautiful French princess in the 1550s was faced with a choice: risk her life and royal position for the truth, or oppose the Reformation and let her kingdom and her people remain blind to the truth, never knowing the Bible fully. Jeanne chose to do what was right. She was a princess who knew her mind, and she was not afraid of anyone- not even the Pope in the Vatican. Her bravery, faith and intelligence helped spread the Gospel and ensured that French people had access to the Bible in her corner of the world.

This edition presents in English, for the first time, Jeanne d’Albret’s Letters to the king, his mother, his brother, her own brother-in-law, and the queen of England, together with her Ample Declaration (1568) defending her decampment to the Protestant stronghold of La Rochelle. A historical-biographical introduction situates these writings in the larger context of Reformation politics and examines in detail the specific literary characteristics of her memoir.

"Sarah Gristwood has written a masterpiece that effortlessly and enthrallingly interweaves the amazing stories of women who ruled in Europe during the Renaissance period." -- Alison Weir Sixteenth-century Europe saw an explosion of female rule. From Isabella of Castile, and her granddaughter Mary Tudor, to Catherine de Medici, Anne Boleyn, and Elizabeth Tudor, these women wielded enormous power over their territories, shaping the course of European history for over a century. Across boundaries and generations, these royal women were mothers and daughters, mentors and protées, allies and enemies. For the first time, Europe saw a sisterhood of queens who would not be equaled until modern times. A fascinating group biography and a thrilling political epic, Game of Queens explores the lives of some of the most beloved (and reviled) queens in history.
