‘Reinas de leyenda’, the new book by Cristina Morato
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 

Author: Cristina Morato.

 

After the success of the book Reinas malditas, Cristina Morató returns with Reinas de leyenda (Queens of legend), the fascinating lives of five queens who left their mark on history.

 

The official portraits that show the queens dressed in sumptuous gowns and covered in jewels conceal lives marked by misfortune and personal tragedy. Some of them were far from the throne at birth, but succeeded to the crown in their own right rather than by marriage. Elizabeth I of England, daughter of Anne Boleyn, went from being a bastard princess to giving her name to the glorious century in which she reigned; Catherine the Great did not hesitate to lead an army to overthrow her husband and rule the Russian empire with a firm hand, while Empress Cixi entered the Forbidden City as a concubine and ruled China behind a silk curtain. There were also doomed queens who survived in a world of intrigue: Catherine of Aragon, daughter of the Catholic Monarchs and first wife of Henry VIII, was one of England’s most beloved sovereigns. Or the unhappy Carlota of Mexico, a young and cultured Belgian princess who became empress of Mexico and lost her mind after the assassination of her husband, Maximilian of Habsburg.

 

Cristina Morató, journalist, photographer and writer, gives voice in this book to the flesh-and-blood women who achieved power in a man’s world thanks to their intelligence, courage and strength, and discovers that the best kings were queens.
