“You weren’t born to be happy; you were born to be queen.”
Jorge Molist brings us a story of love, intrigue and betrayal, telling how the Crown of Aragon and Sicily forged the destiny of Europe and took the world by surprise.
Twelfth century, kingdom of Sicily. Constanza, just thirteen, must do her duty as princess and marry the future king of Aragon to save her kingdom from invasion by Charles of Anjou. The marriage means leaving her home, family and all she knows behind, and her sacrifice proves futile: shortly after, her father is assassinated, Charles is crowned king of Sicily, and Constanza loses everything.
This is the epic story of the Sicilian Vespers uprising against Charles’s tyranny, marking a turning point in European history and dominion over the Mediterranean by Peter III of Aragon.
