Overview

""Anne of Brittany; the Story of a Duchess and Twice-crowned Queen"" recounts the life of Anne of Brittany (1477-1514), a pivotal figure in French history. As Duchess of Brittany in her own right and twice Queen consort of France through her marriages to Charles VIII and Louis XII, Anne played a crucial role in the eventual union of Brittany with France. This biography delves into her political acumen, her struggles to maintain Brittany's independence, and her influence within the French court. Sanborn's work provides a detailed portrait of a woman who navigated the complex political landscape of late fifteenth and early sixteenth-century Europe. It offers insights into the challenges faced by female rulers and the strategies they employed to wield power in a male-dominated world. A compelling read for those interested in French history, royal biography, and the lives of influential women.
