"King René d'Anjou and His Seven Queens" by Edgcumbe Staley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life of King René, a multifaceted and notable prince from the 15th century, along with the stories of his seven queens, two of whom—Marguerite d’Anjou and Jeanne d’Arc—are relatively well-known. This work aims to present a detailed narrative that blends factual history with engaging stories about these royal figures. The opening of the text introduces King René’s expansive titles and his profound talents—ranging from art to governance—setting the stage for both his personal and political complexities. It highlights his character as a noble ruler who practiced consideration and compassion for his subjects, supported the arts, and lived harmoniously among his people. The early chapters focus on René’s life, his artistic endeavors, and the historical context of his reign, showcasing his intersections with various women who played significant roles in his life, like Yolanda d’Arragona, ultimately drawing a vivid portrait of his legacy and the era's rich cultural background.
