Description
Margareta is 14 years old, growing up without a mother, and is to be married off. Her father, the Count of Flanders, longed for a son who would fight by his side. But the heir and successor is not here, and so his daughter becomes the trump card in the power struggle between France and England. However, Margareta is not a child who would obediently follow a preordained path. At school, she learned that the Earth might be round. She refuses to wear a corset, rides without a saddle, fences better than her father, and among her favorite pastimes are spying on her father during his affairs and watching executions in the square. Her rebellion against her father and societal conventions culminates when she refuses to enter into a political marriage of convenience... A brilliant combination of a romantic-adventurous story from the mid-fourteenth century and the information you always missed in history textbooks!
