Бона Сфорца и ВАВЕЛЬСКИЙ ЗАМОК | Королева, которую боялась вся Польша

Everyone feared her—the magnates, the ambassadors, even her own son. Bona Sforza was accused of poisoning her daughter-in-law. She smuggled 430,000 ducats out of Poland and died a year later. Also from poison. For forty years, she ruled Poland from the shadow of Wawel Castle—smarter than most kings and more ruthless than many tyrants. The daughter of a Milanese duke murdered by his own uncle. The wife of an aging king. A mother who lost her son. And a woman whom the Spanish crown may have eliminated for the sake of a 430,000-ducat debt. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, scientists opened her tomb in Bari and discovered arsenic in her remains. The question that Poland has been asking for five hundred years remains unanswered. #BonaSforza #WawelCastle #HistoryOfPoland #GreatEstates #HistoryOfEurope #Jagiellons #MedievalQueens #HistoricalSecrets #KrakowHistory #RenaissanceEurope
