Tajuk : The
Lady of The Rivers
Penulis: Philippa Gregory
Barcode: 39292004246140
Sinopsis : Jacquetta, daughter of the Count of
Luxembourg and kinswoman to half the royalty of Europe, was married to the great
Englishman John, Duke of Bedford, uncle to Henry VI. Widowed at the age of
nineteen she took the extraordinary risk of marrying a gentleman of her
house-hold for love, and then carved out a life for herself as Queen Margaret of
Anjou's close friend and a Lancaster supporter - until the day that her daughter
Elizabeth Woodville fell in love and married the rival king Edward IV. Of all
the little-known but important women of the period, her dramatic story is the
most neglected. With her links to Melusina, and to the founder of the house of
Luxembourg, together with her reputation for making magic, she is the most
haunting of heroines. |
