Cristina Morato chronicles the lives of five queens who left a lasting mark on their countries' histories. The book explores how these rulers, through intellect, courage, and strength, rose to power in a male-dominated world, as well as the sacrifices and suffering they endured.
The Spanish Infanta Catherine became one of the English people's favorite queens, but was rejected by her husband, Henry XVIII. The king's illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth, ascended the throne, and her reign became a golden age for Britain—while her cousin, the beautiful Mary Stuart, Queen of France and Scotland, ended her life on the executioner's block. A modest Prussian princess dethroned her unloved husband and ruled the Russian Empire until her last breath as Catherine the Great. And the brilliant Belgian Princess Charlotte became Empress of Mexico, but after the assassination of her husband, the Emperor, she lost her mind. Empress Cixi entered the Forbidden City as a concubine and ended up ruling China for nearly half a century.
