About this book
A Venetian nobleman's daughter is chosen to become queen of Cyprus in this historical romance, set in the latter half of the fifteenth century. The opening chapter shows the Venetian Senate listening to an ambassador from the young Cypriot king, who arrives with gifts of jewels to ask for a bride from Venice. The Republic had long wanted the island for its position and its trade. The queen at the centre, Caterina, appears in the frontispiece after a painting by Titian.
Mrs. Lawrence Turnbull, who also wrote The Golden Book of Venice, published it in 1911 and dedicated it to Margherita of Savoy.
