Book
The Importance of Wives
First published 2024
Eleven-year-old Anne of Brittany inherits one of Europe’s richest duchies after her father’s death in 1488. Surrounded by guardians, ambitious nobles and a French crown determined to absorb Brittany, she must learn to rule while resisting plans to use her marriage as the price of political control.
As civil war and French invasion close around her, Anne’s choices narrow between dynastic alliances and survival. Morgan follows the young duchess through the struggle that ends with her marriage to Charles VIII, placing female sovereignty, loyalty and the fate of an independent Brittany at the centre of the story.
