A Hapsburg Trilogy
That Other Juana(Juana la Loca). Juana, older sister of Catherine of Aragon, founded the Hapsburg dynasties of Spain and Austria but her life was ruined by three men greedy for power: her husband a blatant womanizer and political schemer; her father who betrayed and isolated her; her son who imprisoned her for a further thirty years. Her spirited resistance to this lifetime of barbaric persecution earned her, unfairly, the infamous nickname Juana la Loca, Joan the Mad.
A Matter of Pride(Charles V, HRE) The emperor, prematurely aged, ill, and very irritable Charles V retires to a secluded monastery in western Spain in 1557. He brings memories of past loves, years in power and military campaigns. His major domo freely speaks his mind, other characters tell tragicomic anecdotes and an all-knowing narrator makes sarcastic and funny observations. It all makes for a wonderful story - sometimes tearful, sometimes hilarious.
Wives & Other Women (Philip II of Spain) At a time when kings were expected to produce male heirs Philip embarked on several dynastic marriages but was always disappointed and frustrated. The story focuses on these loveless marriages - and his compulsive pursuit of other women. With a background of family turmoil and a court plagued by intrigue and treachery, the result is a fascinating and very lively story.
