Book Description
Whether it was true history or wild history, the books did not seem to use any good words to record the first female regent of the dynasty, Dong Lingwan. Her youth had also been meek and modest, renowned far, but later on she had been ruthless, willful, and willful, leading to her authority over the court, her charms. However, people had to admit that this extremely bad woman had benefited countless people during her reign. She was the most controversial woman in the entire history of Da Ye in the past few hundred years. The position of Duke of the Phoenix of the first rank, and the power of the current Regent of the dynasty. Fourteen words, a portrait of a woman's life. The first time they met, she had been scared to tears by him and had been tricked out of the most important things. How many years had it been since she could not look for him; when they met again, she had not recognized him. He had held the knife to her throat, but she had smiled faintly and warned him haughtily.

The Duchess Countess
Author: Catherine Ostler
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471172570
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
'A scintillating story superbly told... [Ostler] packs every paragraph with eye-opening detail' The Times 'A rollicking read... [Ostler] tells Elizabeth's story with admirable style and gusto' Sunday Times 'Terrifically entertaining: if you liked Bridgerton, you’ll love this...and her research is impeccable' Evening Standard 'Fascinating. Magnificent. Sensitively told' Hallie Rubenhold, author of The Five 'Catherine Ostler’s superb, gripping, decadent biography brings an extraordinary woman and a whole world blazingly to life' Simon Sebag Montefiore When the glamorous Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston, Countess of Bristol, went on trial at Westminster Hall for bigamy in April 1776, the story drew more attention in society than the American War of Independence. A clandestine, candlelit wedding to the young heir to an earldom, a second marriage to a Duke, a lust for diamonds and an electrifying appearance at a masquerade ball in a diaphanous dress: no wonder the trial was a sensation. However, Elizabeth refused to submit to public humiliation and retire quietly. Rather than backing gracefully out of the limelight, she embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe, being welcomed by the Pope and Catherine the Great among others. As maid of honour to Augusta, Princess of Wales, Elizabeth led her life in the inner circle of the Hanoverian court and her exploits delighted and scandalised the press and the people. She made headlines, and was a constant feature in penny prints and gossip columns. Writers were intrigued by her. Thackeray drew on Elizabeth as inspiration for his calculating, alluring Becky Sharp. But her behaviour, often depicted as attention-seeking and manipulative, hid a more complex tale – that of Elizabeth’s fight to overcome personal tragedy and loss. Now, in this brilliantly told and evocative biography, Catherine Ostler takes a fresh look at Elizabeth’s story and seeks to understand and reappraise a woman who refused to be defined by society’s expectations of her. A woman who was by turns, brave, loving and generous but also reckless, greedy and insecure; a woman totally unwilling to accept the female status of underdog or to hand over all the power, the glory and the adventures of life to men.

In England, impoverished blue-bloods are queueing up for introductions to American heiresses, overlooking the sometimes lowly origins of their fortunes.
