Download or read book Anna of Saxony written by Ingrun Mann and published by Winged Hussar Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since her early youth at the glittering court of Dresden, Anna had been known as a difficult child and troublemaker. Servants complained about her violent outbursts, while courtiers bemoaned her general disregard for aristocratic female etiquette. Upon reaching her teenage years, the princess’ guardians decided that Saxony’s enfant terrible should leave home as quickly as possible by marrying a foreign suitor in a preferably far-away land. Enter William of Orange: handsome, charming, and heir to one of the Netherlands’ largest estates. The fact that he was also a profligate partier and lover of women was conveniently overlooked. Anna immediately fell for the Dutch bon vivant despite warnings from a few well-meaning relatives. For one, William was a Catholic, while Anna adhered to the Protestant teachings of Martin Luther, critical voices cautioned, correctly predicting future trouble for the princess in the Catholic Netherlands. Furthermore, the prince’s liege lord, the fanatical Philip II of Spain, very much disapproved of a match between his premier vassal and a “Lutheran heretic.” There was also the issue of plain Anna’s growing obsession with the roguish William; an obsession that was not reciprocated. In the end, the impetuous princess threw caution to the wind. No other than William would do for a husband, she insisted, while publicly announcing that “every vein in my body heartily loves him.”
Download or read book Anna of Kleve The Princess in the Portrait written by Alison Weir and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising and dramatic life of the least known of King Henry VIII’s wives is illuminated in the fourth volume in the Six Tudor Queens series—for fans of Philippa Gregory, Hilary Mantel, and The Crown. Newly widowed and the father of an infant son, Henry VIII realizes he must marry again to ensure the royal succession. Forty-six, overweight, and suffering from gout, Henry is soundly rejected by some of Europe's most eligible princesses. Anna of Kleve, from a small German duchy, is twenty-four, and has a secret she is desperate to keep hidden. Henry commissions her portrait from his court painter, who depicts her from the most flattering perspective. Entranced by the lovely image, Henry is bitterly surprised when Anna arrives in England and he sees her in the flesh. Some think her attractive, but Henry knows he can never love her. What follows is the fascinating story of an awkward royal union that somehow had to be terminated. Even as Henry begins to warm to his new wife and share her bed, his attention is captivated by one of her maids-of-honor. Will he accuse Anna of adultery as he did Queen Anne Boleyn, and send her to the scaffold? Or will he divorce her and send her home in disgrace? Alison Weir takes a fresh and astonishing look at this remarkable royal marriage by describing it from the point of view of Queen Anna, a young woman with hopes and dreams of her own, alone and fearing for her life in a royal court that rejected her almost from the day she set foot on England’s shore.

Download or read book The Diary of Countess Anna Maria Berezowska written by John A. Stelnicki and Iris Hart and published by John A. Stelnicki and Iris Hart. This book was released on with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literary masterpiece that waited over 200 years to be discovered! This unique diary is a first-hand account by a refreshingly naïve and sensitive young aristocrat unwittingly caught up in the brutal armed invasion of her beloved homeland, Poland. Replete with historical and cultural facts, it amazingly reads more like a mystery novel. Countess Anna and her writings miraculously survived fires, blizzards, murderous pillaging, imprisonment, and narrow escapes from death. The violence inflicted on her person parallels that suffered by her country. Nevertheless, there is levity in Anna's unprecedented descriptions of people from all social classes, and poignancy in her emotions concerning love. This intimate narrative cries through to generations beyond, disclosing such vital issues, still current, such as rape victimization, unplanned pregnancy, forced marriage, social class injustices, constraining traditions, assaults on women, forced confinement, war, betrayal ..., thus linking that bygone era with life today. Our fascinating heroine also can't restrain herself from peeking into and secretly copying down portions of her lascivious cousin Sophia's diary. In "My Delights," Sophia blatantly recounts her wanton sexual adventures. Both Anna and Sophia, as well as the other unforgettable characters, cope quite diversely with the final full capitulation of their country, Europe's first constitutional democracy.

Download or read book A Life of Anne of Hanover Princess Royal written by Baker-Smith and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eldest daughter of George II, and Handel's most knowledgeable patron, Anne is the only English princess since the fifteenth century to rule alone in a foreign country. In the Netherlands she is the least known of the energetic and able women from Amalia van Solms to Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont who have married into the House of Orange, but she is unique in holding real political power. This book uses hitherto unpublished private papers which give a vivid picture of eighteenth century social life in London, Friesland and The Hague. But, more importantly, they show her influence on Dutch politics at a time of constitutional change, while letters to her father, her brother 'Butcher' Cumberland and her cousin Frederick the Great show her playing a significant role on the European diplomatic stage.
