This is the biographical account of four sisters who all married kings of Medieval Europe. It's interesting to see how they changed the face of Europe, for without their influence, the Middle Ages would have gone much differently. Europe in the 13th century was already precarious, and these ladies played leading roles in the drama that ensued. I can't say whether the author is fully accurate in her writings, but it has shed some light on the nature of Europe at this time. Good read overall.
