Summary: "Die häßliche Herzogin: Roman" by Lion Feuchtwanger is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the political machinations and cultural milieu surrounding the life of Margarete of Kärnten, highlighting her experiences as the young Princess of Kärnten and the challenges she faces due to her perceived ugliness and the expectations of her royal lineage. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a grand wedding that has been delayed, reflecting the frustrations of King Heinrich as he prepares for a celebration that seems to be falling apart due to the absence of the promised bride. Amidst the festivities, Heinrich's thoughts dwell not just on the failed matrimonial alliances with the Luxembourg family but also on the realities of his fading reign and the political dynamics at play. Margarete, described as a physically unattractive yet intelligent girl, is introduced as she embarks on her journey to join the court, ultimately revealing her world of social challenges and familial expectations. Her initial experiences hint at her inner strength as she navigates the complexities of her position, setting the tone for her character development throughout the narrative.
