Summary
The novel is based on the life of Ermengarde, Viscountess of Narbonne (c.1126-1196). Yet Ermengarde is a woman out of time, as easily imaginable negotiating hostile takeovers in today's corporate boardrooms as inhabiting her court in twelfth-century feudal France.

When her city is about to be sacked, she sets aside the advice of others to act on her own
