Description
The Agincourt Bride by Joanna Hickson is a historical novel that explores the tumultuous world of 15th-century France. When her own child dies, young Mette is forced into service as a wet-nurse at the court of King Charles VI, where she forms a deep bond with Princess Catherine de Valois. As Catherine approaches womanhood, her unique position makes her a pawn in the power struggles between two powerful dynasties: France and Burgundy. With the French defeat at the Battle of Agincourt, Catherine's value increases, but Mette must navigate the treacherous court to protect her from those who seek to harm her. Set against the backdrop of war and politics, this novel tells a story of loyalty, courage, and survival in a world where women are often powerless.
