Opis

Emma was one of England's most remarkable queens: a formidable woman who made her mark on a Europe beset by Vikings. She was a survivor: her life was punctuated by dramatic falls, all of which she overcame. Her story is one of power, politics, love, greed and scandal in an England caught between the Dark Ages and the Norman invasion of 1066.
