About This Book

The book recounts the turbulent court career of a young queen whose intimate partnership with an influential favorite produces bold reforms, bitter noble resistance, and intense public unrest. It traces the favorite's rapid accumulation of authority and the conspiracies and masked intrigues that lead to the queen's arrest, formal divorce, and the trials and executions of her associates. It follows her confinement and enforced relocation to a distant residence, the thwarted restoration efforts on her behalf, and her early death. The narrative closes by examining the political reprisals, funerary memory, and documentary evidence that surround these events.
