Description
Joanna of Navarre's childhood was dominated by her cruel and scheming father, Charles of Navarre. He introduced her to the arts of healing and sorcery that were to brand her with the unwarranted reputation of witch. When widowed, Joanna becomes queen to Henry IV of England and is a good stepmother to all his sons, including Hal, the future Henry V. But her refusal to invest her fortune in Hal's war-waging in France brings on a dreadful vengeance.
