As 25 year old Berengaria of Navarre journeys on a ship bound for Sicily, little does she know what adventures and trials lie before her. She must face an indifferent husband, a domineering mother-in-law and the turbulent political climate of twelfth-century Europe. Will she find happiness amid such tribulations?

I received this great wishlist book as part of the Tag Game, thanks so much for "tagging" me! I am looking forward to reading this one and then passing it on.
This is the story of Berengaria of Navarre who was the wife and Queen of Richard the Lionheart, King of England. While I knew quite a lot about Richard and his life I did not know much if anything about his wife and this was a good book to get that info. I really enjoyed learning about Berengaria and her trials and troubles, including going on crusade with her husband. Even though she was Queen of England she never set foot there and was basically abandoned by Richard during their marriage.
During the later part of her life she came into her own and founded the abbey of L'Épau in Le Mans, where she lived out her remaining days and is buried there.
A good story and book!
