The Lady Queen The riveting history of a
beautiful queen, a shocking murder, a papal trial -- and a reign as
triumphant as any in the Middle Ages. On March
15, 1348, twenty-two-year-old Joanna I, Queen of Naples, stood trial for
 the murder of her husband before the Pope and his court in Avignon.
Determined to defend herself, Joanna won her acquittal against
overwhelming odds. Victorious, she returned to Naples and ruled over one
 of Europe's most prestigious courts for the next three decades -- until
 she herself was killed. Courageous and determined,
Joanna was the only female monarch in her time to rule in her own name.
