About This Book
Le texte retrace la chute publique d'une reine après l'assassinat de son époux, l'accusation et la propagande populaire, son mariage controversé avec le principal suspect, et la ligue des seigneurs qui la renverse. On suit les scènes d'humiliation et d'indignation, les démarches diplomatiques, les lettres et poèmes qui mêlent amour et culpabilité, la fuite de son favori devenu paria, puis la captivité successive de la souveraine dans des châteaux isolés, ses tentatives d'évasion, et les négociations familiales visant à régler la régence et l'avenir de l'héritier. L'ensemble examine pouvoir, passion et disgrâce.
