GERALDINE, LA REINA QUE NO LLORABA

Discover the fascinating and melancholic story of Geraldine of Albania, the woman who rose from impoverished aristocrat to become the "Snow Queen." In this new episode of The Myth of Lydia, we explore the life of the only woman to hold the title of queen in Albania, from her fairytale wedding that captivated the world to her heartbreaking exile. How did a Hungarian countess come to reign in the Balkans? What really happened when she had to flee her kingdom just days after giving birth?
