Excerpt from A Mediaeval Princess: Being a True Record of the Changing Fortunes Which Brought Divers Titles to Jacqueline, Countess of Holland, Together With an Account of Her Conflict With Philip, Duke of Burgundy (1401-1436)

Only a very audacious romancer would dare to make his heroine pass through more varied fortunes than those actually experienced by Jacqueline, last independent sovereign in Holland, Zealand, and Hainaut. Orphaned at sixteen, no forethought displayed by her father, no efforts of her successive husbands were able to defend her paternal heritage against the rapacity of her kinsmen.
