Description
Catherine de Valois was born into turmoil. As the daughter of French King Charles VI, she grew up in a royal court marked by instability and conflict. Her life took a dramatic turn when she was married to Henry V of England, a union that would have far-reaching consequences for her own future and that of her young son. In this tumultuous world, Catherine found herself caught between rival factions and under threat from powerful English lords. Yet, it was in the midst of this turmoil that she discovered strength and kinship with Owain Tudor, a childhood friend who would become a source of comfort and support. As their friendship blossomed into love, Catherine's very existence hung in the balance. A true story of courage and resilience, The Queen's Lover brings to life a pivotal moment in history, one that shaped the course of royal lineage for generations to come.
