"Through the lives of the five women, all related, all called Euphemia, and one of them Queen of the Scots, Elizabeth Sutherland explores two hundred years of Scottish history."--BOOK JACKET.
"While medieval battles are well recorded, there is little written about the important influence of the women behind the scenes. Through arranged marriages profitable alliances were made, territory gained and bridges built. But the women - though technically the possessions of their menfolk - were far from passive creatures in the story. There are accounts of bravery and love affairs, papal separations and religious devotion."--BOOK JACKET.
"It was a turbulent time in Scottish history and this original book casts new light on the Scots' fierce fight for freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
