Book Synopsis Margaret, Queen of Sicily by : Jacqueline Alio
Book excerpt: "Margaret of Navarre was the most powerful woman in Europe for five years of the 12th century. This is the first biography of the descendant of El Cid and friend of Thomas Becket who became Queen of Sicily, ruling a polyglot nation of Christians, Muslims and Jews. It is the story of a wife, mother and leader who inspired millions. Included are original translations from medieval chronicles and characters published here in English for the first time, and a chapter on Monreale Abbey, a jewel of Norman, Arab and Byzantine art." --Back cover.
