Beskrivelse af The Viscountess
Can't get enough of the medieval world? THE VISCOUNTESS takes you back to the twelfth century and an unforgettable heroine who wages war to gain control of her life.
In a time of violence and unrest in Southern France, Ermengarde is a fighter.
Married against her will, she sees her substantial inheritance usurped by an unscrupulous husband, her lands given over to a man she can't stand, let alone love.
She rebelled, ran away, and found allies, but this is just the beginning of the battle for her inheritance. Ermengarde's powerful husband amasses an army and plots to bring her to her knees.
Ermengarde's allies assemble a force, but they are outnumbered.
Heady stuff for 1143 and historically accurate.
The novel is based on the life of Ermengarde, Viscountess of Narbonne (c.1126-1196). Yet Ermengarde is a woman out of time, as easily imaginable negotiating hostile takeovers in today's corporate boardrooms as inhabiting her court in twelfth-century feudal France. Like women of today, she struggles to assert herself while maintaining her femininity. She copes with animosity from her allies and unsolicited attentions from one of her knights. When her city is about to be sacked, she sets aside the advice of others to act on her own. Grab a copy today.
THE VISCOUNTESS is book two of THE NARBONNE INHERITANCE. Yet it stands alone and can be read without reading book one, THE VISCOUNT'S DAUGHTER.
