Book Details


First Sentence

"Accused Queen. Most often, a woman who is first abused in her parents' home and later slandered and otherwise persecuted in the home of her husband; more rarely, a woman falsely charged with adultery; a common figure in late-medieval romances, chronicles, and saints' lives, also known as the Calumniated Woman."
