Living in the second half of the 12th century, Princess Constance of Hauteville was both witness and protagonist in what could be considered the most exciting period in Medieval history. There had been a remarkable growth in the population and in the economy of western Europe and a consequent expansion of cities and commerce. With the support of the secular rulers and the Church, knighthood had been institutionalised and the Courtly Love school of poetry was born. In 1185, 32 year old Constance of Sicily, a princess with the most magnificent dowry Europe has ever seen, was betrothed to 21 year old Henry, cold-hearted son of the great German Emperor, Frederick Barbarossa. Eight years later, the Sicilian throne lies empty and Henry and Constance (pregnant for the first time at 40) travel south to stake their claim against the usurper, Tancredi's family.

And then she included the horoscope she'd had done for Constance. And included quite a bit of discussion as to how the fact that Constance was a Pisces would affect her actions. At which point I gave the book the side-eye so hard that I think I sprained something. ( )
