HRH Princess Michael of Kent

Yolande, the Queen of Four Kingdoms is dead. Agnès Sorel, had arrived a year earlier with the court of Yolande's son, René D'Anjou. Agnès captivates everyone she meets, and finds herself firmly ensconced in the royal court. Soon though, whispers at court regarding Charles's burgeoning feelings for her begin to grow, and despite her best efforts to resist, Agnès is alarmed to discover that she too is in love.

At the age of nineteen, Yolande of Aragon is sent away from everything she knows to marry the Duke of Anjou, cousin of King Charles VI. Arranged to form an alliance between the two warring kingdoms, their union becomes not only a great love story, but also sets in motion events which will change the course of history.

Merchant Jacques Coeur, is a man of humble beginnings but fiercely ambitious. He rises to be one of the richest and most powerful men in fifteenth century France when he becomes trusted confidante of the Anjou royal family, particularly of his beloved patroness Yolande, Queen of the Four Kingdoms. But in devastating fashion Jacques's ambition and generosity become his downfall.
