书籍简介

年度图书

英格兰中世纪王后们的故事生动感人，充满了悲剧、戏剧甚至喜剧色彩。这是一部关于爱情、谋杀、战争和背叛的编年史，充满了激情、阴谋和悲伤，其中有女英雄、恶棍、女政治家和情人。在这个史诗般的新系列的一卷中，艾莉森-威尔剥去了几个世纪以来的浪漫神话和偏见，揭示了诺曼征服后一个世纪英格兰王后们的生活。

从支持征服者威廉（William the Conqueror）于 1066 年入侵英格兰的佛兰德斯的玛蒂尔达（Matilda of Flanders）开始，到声称以自己的权利成为英格兰女王并为此进行了激烈战争的莫德皇后（Empress Maud）动荡的一生，五位诺曼女王都是极具影响力的人物和引人入胜的角色。

不仅仅是一系列个人传记，它还是一个关于相互关联的生活的天衣无缝的故事，也是一个关于变动时代的英国历史的丰富画卷。在艾莉森-威尔的笔下，这五位非凡的女性重新找回了她们在英国历史中心的应有地位。

A Daily Telegraph Book of the Year

The story of England’s medieval queens is vivid and stirring, packed with tragedy, high drama and even comedy. It is a chronicle of love, murder, war and betrayal, filled with passion, intrigue and sorrow, peopled by a cast of heroines, villains, stateswomen and lovers. In the first volume of this epic new series, Alison Weir strips away centuries of romantic mythology and prejudice to reveal the lives of England’s queens in the century after the Norman Conquest.

Beginning with Matilda of Flanders, who supported William the Conqueror in his invasion of England in 1066, and culminating in the turbulent life of the Empress Maud, who claimed to be queen of England in her own right and fought a bitter war to that end, the five Norman queens emerge as hugely influential figures and fascinating characters.

Much more than a series of individual biographies, Queens of the Conquest is a seamless tale of interconnected lives and a rich portrait of English history in a time of flux. In Alison Weir’s hands these five extraordinary women reclaim their rightful roles at the centre of English history.
