Life and Times of Her Majesty Caroline Matilda, Vol. 1 (of 3) Queen of Denmark and Norway, and Sister of H. M. George III. of England

"Life and Times of Her Majesty Caroline Matilda, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by Lascelles Wraxall is a 19th-century historical narrative focused on the dramatic life of Caroline Matilda, a queen caught between royal duty and personal turmoil. This first volume paints a portrait of the young queen, sister to England’s King George III, as she journeys from England to Denmark for a politically arranged marriage with King Christian VII. She faces the rigid expectations of the Danish court, deals with challenging relationships within the royal family, and deals with plots that threaten to unravel her position and happiness, all under the watchful eyes of powerful figures and a society steeped in tradition. The book's early chapters describe her upbringing and her heartbreaking departure from home, setting the emotional and political scene for her trials in a foreign land.
