"Rainha sem reino (Estudo historico do seculo XV)" by Alberto Pimentel is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the complex and turbulent history of 15th-century Iberian politics, centering on the life of Infanta D. Joanna of Portugal and her marriage to the Castilian King Henry IV. The narrative explores them...
The opening of the book introduces us to D. Joanna, who was born into a world of turmoil following the death of her father, King D. Duarte of Portugal, and the outbreak of the plague in Lisbon. As the story unfolds, we learn of D. Joanna's betrothal to her cousin, King Henry IV of Castile, amidst ongoing political machinations, familial tensions, and the looming specter of potential betrayal. The text vividly captures the atmosphere of the royal court and the precarious position of D. Joanna, whose beauty and status are juxtaposed against the backdrop of her ill-fated marriage, foreshadowing the challenges she will face in a court laden with scandal and strife.
