Renaissance Royals

By Laurel A. Rockefeller
Renaissance Royals by Laurel A. Rockefeller digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The 15th and 16th centuries were a time of great change for western Europe.  With completion of the Hundred Years War, House Lancaster and House York vied for power in England in a conflict known as the War of the Roses. A new Tudor dynasty emerged, touching the lives of countless millions.

Among those caught up in this Renaissance were eight royal women.  Though we know less about their lives than we do Queen Elizabeth I Tudor, Mary Queen of the Scots, or even Catherine de Valois, their life stories are equally worth exploring.  From queens of France, Scotland, and England to lesser known noble women, these eight stories speak to the transformations that moved our world into the modern age.

About Laurel A. Rockefeller

Born, raised, and educated in Lincoln, Nebraska USA, Laurel A. Rockefeller's passion for animals comes through in everything she writes. First self-published in 2012 as a social science fiction author (the Peers of Beinan series), Laurel has expanded her work into the animal care/guide, history, historical fiction, and biography genres.  But she is best known for her biographies, particularly the Legendary Women of World History series where she applies her formal education from the University of Nebraska.

 

Find Laurel's books in digital, paperback, and hardcover in your choice of up to ten languages.  Audio editions are published in all four available languages:  English, French, Spanish, and German.  Most of them feature period music performed by actor-musicians.  You can also hear Laurel sing on three of the audiobooks: Catherine de Valois (Spanish), The Arban and the Saman, and Songs of the Beinarian Court.

 

Besides advocating for animals and related environmental causes, Laurel A. Rockefeller is a passionate educator dedicated to improving history literacy worldwide, especially as it relates to women's accomplishments.
