Anne and Charles: Passion and Politics in Late Medieval FranceWhen Anne of Brittany's father dies in 1488, the eleven year old beauty becomes Duchess of Brittany, her country's ruler. For the next three years, the orphaned, unmarried young duchess is relentlessly pursued by suitors while Brittany is invaded by France, its larger, more powerful neighbor. With no other way out, at age fourteen she agrees to marry King Charles VIII of France, in order to save her country. Better to be a queen than a prisoner

When Anne of Brittany's father dies in 1488, the eleven-year-old beauty becomes Duchess of Brittany, her country's ruler. For the next three years, the orphaned, unmarried young duchess is relentlessly pursued by suitors while Brittany is invaded by France, its larger, more powerful neighbor. With no other way out, at age fourteen she agrees to marry King Charles VIII of France, in order to save her country. Better to be a queen than a prisoner...

Unexpectedly, a passionate relationship ensues. Yet Charles cannot shake the bad habits he has brought into their marriage, and Anne cannot help him in his darkest area of struggle.

Together, they introduce the wonders of the Italian Renaissance to France, building one of Europe's most glorious 15th-century courts at their royal residence in Amboise, in the heart of the Loire Valley.

But year after year they fail to achieve the most important aim they must accomplish in order to secure the future of their kingdom. As they desperately attempt to make their shared dream come true, an unexpected twist of fate irrevocably changes the fortunes of both Anne and Charles.

Anne & Charles is Book One of the Anne of Brittany Series, the tale of the only woman in history to be twice-crowned queen of France. Publishers Weekly says "comparable titles are Philippa Gregory's Plantagenet and Tudor Novels." (Booklife, April 23, 2018)

Love this product
This product has been the best. A small amount goes a very long way. You don’t feel greasy after just moisturized. To me, it doesn’t really smell like anything. it’s not overpowering or noticeable after it’s rubbed in. I definitely will recommend and continue to buy.

I tan pretty easily. I tan outside during the summer time ...
I tan pretty easily. I tan outside during the summer time and the winter i go to a nearby tanning salon to keep my tan going. I dont know why certain people say that this product smes like coffee, but it does not smell like coffee to me. It smells like paradise on beach. like thr tropics. and I love the smell. I also love the fact that within 1 use of this , i got a darker deeper tan . took me to the next level. noticed a huge differrence in my tan. I love this tanning lotion. and as far as people saying that its too oily, well, it is oily, but that honestly doesnt bother me one bit. this is by far the best tanning lotion i have ever bought. if u want to get a good tan thats natural. this is the stuff to get.

Best lotion for sunburned skin
After a vacation in Hawaii, I thought I’d never get to have this lotion again. I saved the bottle from 15 years ago, just as a memory. On a whim, I looked on amazon and here is was!! The best after sun lotion ever!!! Sun burns don’t hurt on the second day. Keeps burned skin moist and flake free. Peeling is minimal if you use the lotion daily. I still use it, even though my summer tan has been established. Smells like my vacation all over again!

Best moisturizer I have bought in years!!
Love this stuff. Best moisturizer I bought in years, and let me tell you I bought quite a few. Try it! It works. I put it on m face at night and it works wonders on my hands. I am in Colorado and the dryness here is overwhelming. I wear make up and all kinds of skin care during the day, but this is a great addition as a wonderful moisturizer.
