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.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, set in the early 15th century, brings to life Jacqueline, the last sovereign Countess of Holland, Zeeland and Hainaut. Orphaned at sixteen, Jacqueline's life was a constant political struggle, with her various titles and marriages used by her male relatives to further their own ambitions. Jacqueline's story is entwined with that of the region and the era, shedding light on the medieval world's complex feudal system that was gradually beginning to give way to a world shaped by commerce and urban development. The author's deep dive into Jacqueline's life and the broader context of the time offers a captivating look at a period of great change and the role of women in a patriarchal society.
