Description
Catherine of Braganza's story has been overshadowed by that of her husband Charles II, but this is far from an accurate portrayal. In fact, Catherine played a significant role in shaping the country and its empire. Historian Sophie Shorland sheds new light on Catherine's life, revealing how she brought about lasting changes to Britain. Her dowry included Bombay, the first British territory on the Indian subcontinent, and she popularised several cultural influences that continue to shape the nation today. From fashion to art and music, Catherine's impact can still be seen in many aspects of modern life. This book offers a fresh perspective on a forgotten monarch, one who deserves recognition for her enduring legacy.
