Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Protestant Queen of Navarre: The Mother of the Bourbons It is often said that French history would not be the sad tragedy it is had the women who wore the crown been wiser and nobler; and the women who ruled the court, and whose influence is every-where to be traced in the national policy, been loftier and purer in heart and character. To this stricture, true in the main, Jeanne d´Albret forms a shining exception. The life of this brave, noble Frenchwoman belongs not merely to her own country, but to the world. Contemporary with Queen Elizabeth, it is a curious fact that the two greatest women of Europe, at the most eventful crisis of its history, occupied Protestant thrones. The French queen had the nobler soul, and, could the two have changed places, would have acted in many a trying emergency a higher part than the great Englishwoman.
