Description
ONE PRINCESS. TWO HUSBANDS. BY ORDER OF THE KING. A princess falls in love with a handsome knight; the stuff of fairy tales, but not very remarkable, even in an age where love was hardly a prerequisite for marriage.It is the princess, Joan of Kent, who is remarkable. Forbidden by the king to marry, she does it anyway, in secret. When the King discovers what she has done, he is furious. He has more pressing concerns than love and forces her to bigamy. But still she will not give up.Who is this young woman, who would dare defy her family, and even her king, for ten long years just to win the man she loves? Will she succeed - and what will happen if she does?She was known in her time as 'a vain and indecent woman.' This is her true story, told by the one man who knew her best.
