About the La Cortesana De León / The Courtesan From León (Hardcover Book)

Una vida de lucha por el trono.
Una batalla de reyes en la que se alzará una reina.

1100 d. C. La turbulenta línea de sucesión de los reinos de León, Castilla y Galicia obliga a doña Urraca de Zamora, hermana y mano derecha del rey Alfonso VI, a asegurar un futuro para su sobrina, la infanta Urraca, a la que el monarca ha apartado del trono en favor de su hijo menor, Sancho Alfónsez.

Sin embargo, la consejera real no está dispuesta a permitirlo y por ello decide encargar a Lisarda, una joven y astuta cortesana con pocos medios, intrigar en la corte con el objetivo de que su protegida sea coronada como reina de pleno derecho en contra de la voluntad del soberano.
El cometido de Lisarda no es fácil, pero con la ayuda del mercenario Petro el Cartaginés, pronto comenzará a urdir una estratagema para que reyes, nobles y demás señores de la corte caigan en sus redes.

En la estela de Aquitania o La cocinera de Castamar, Francisco Sempere nos adentra en los entresijos de la corte de León y nos cuenta la historia de Urraca I la Temeraria en una novela llena de aventuras, intrigas, deseo y luchas de poder.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A life-long fight for the throne.
A battle between kings in which a queen will rise.

1100 a. D. The turbulent line of succession of the kingdoms of León, Castile, and Galicia forces Doña Urraca de Zamora—sister and right-hand of King Alfonso VI—to ensure Princess Urraca’s future, her niece, whom the ruler kept from the throne in favor of his younger son, Sancho Alfónsez.

However, the royal counselor will not allow it and decides to charge Lisarda, a young astute courtesan of few means, to plot in court with the purpose of crowning her protégé as queen in her full right against the will of the King.

Lisarda’s task is not easy, but with the help of a mercenary, Petro the Carthaginian, she will soon begin devising a ruse to make kings, nobles, and courtiers fall into her scheme.

In the wake of Aquitaine and The Cook of Castamere, Francisco Sempere introduces us to the inner workings of the court of León and tells the story of Urraca the Reckless in a novel full of adventure, intrigue, desire, and power struggles.
