Empress Eugenie by Joyce Cartlidge
The Empress Eug nie was one of the most glamorous, celebrated and ultimately tragic figures of the nineteenth century. Wife of Napoleon I and close friend of Queen Victoria, she suffered the loss of her beloved sister, her only son, and her adopted country. But did Eug nie take her greatest secret-an illegitimate child, conceived when she was a teenager in Spain and fathered by the only man she ever truly loved-to the grave with her? And if so, what became of the child? After half a lifetime's research Joyce Cartlidge has pieced together evidence from historic records and clues in correspondence from Eug nie and her family and friends, some of it never printed before, to tell a compelling story of love and motherhood that ties the Spanish house of Montijo and the French throne to a small family in Victorian Lancashire.
