Beschreibung
A confidential narrative not only about the emperor's wives ***** After three books about Charles IV - The Secret Diary, The Emperor and Empress, The Emperor and His Sons - readers once again have the opportunity to glimpse into the life of our greatest ruler. This time into his intimate life, stripped of pomp and grandeur. For his confidant, the emperor chose Master Theodorik, his court painter. He was preparing to assign him an important task: to paint portraits of his four wives. Were Charles's marriages happy? Did the royal couple share common adventures? Did they share secrets? What were his wives like? What inspired Charles? Did they influence his decisions and actions? Did any of them betray him, or did they always support him unconditionally? And which one did he love the most? A vivid portrayal, where Charles's past intertwines with the present, revealing tensions between his fourth wife Elizabeth and his sons Václav and Zikmund, provides the answers.
