| Summary | "Jeanne de Constantinople: Comtesse de Flandre et de Hainaut" by Edward Le Glay is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the life of Jeanne de Constantinople, who faced significant trials and political upheaval from a young age after becoming an orphan. With a narrative rich in medieval context, the book likely explores her role as a ruler and the challenges she faced from various political factions during her reign. At the start of the narrative, Jeanne, born to the comte Bauduin and Marie de Champagne, experiences considerable loss early in life, becoming an orphan and a ward of the French king at a tender age. As she navigates the treacherous waters of feudal politics, her life is marked by political manipulation, struggles for sovereignty, and familial tragedies. The opening sets the stage for her eventual marriage to Fernand of Portugal and indicates a life filled with strife amidst the backdrop of regional power struggles, hinting at the tumultuous events that would define her reign over Flanders and Hainaut.
