The gripping story of Catherine of Braganza, Charles II's Portuguese queen set against the background of injustice and tragedy.

Catherine of Braganza, the loving little Portuguese Princess entered into a royal marriage to Charles II at a precipitous time in England's history. This is the remarkable tale of how such a small and gentle woman withstood every conceivable insult, both from her king and her adopted country, and yet emerged victorious. Charles lived a life intent upon pleasure, squandering immense sums upon his mistresses and often abandoning Catherine to the cold comforts of
forbidding royal palaces and unfeeling courtiers. Hilda Lewis traces the tempestuous relationship between Catherine and Charles, the infidelities, the neglect, but also the passionate love and deep affection.
