Elizabeta, the wife of the Hungarian King, Lajos, is queen in name only.  The real queen remains Elzbieta, the king's mother.        
    In 1353, 14-year-old, Elizabeta, daughter of Stephen Kotromanic, the Ruler of Bosnia is married to King Lajos of Hungary after he lost his first wife to the Plague.  But the king's mother, Elzbieta doesn't view this match favorably, and wishes her son would have found a bride with more important connections.  Also, not ready to give up her position as the most powerful and influential woman in the kingdom, Elzbieta keeps Elizabeta in the shade.  But Elizabeta wants to go down in history as more than just another queen-consort.  She wants to be remembered as a powerful queen, like her mother-in-law.  Elizabeta's strong determination will eventually earn her the love of Lajos, as she develops into a capable Queen to match the all-powerful Elzbieta.

Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016
