Guinedell, comtessa de les pedres

Ragel, Àfrica

Guinedell, the daughter of the Abbot de la Grassa, leaves the protection of the abbey where she grew up on the day she marries her cousin, Guifré I, el Pilós.We are in 873 and the young woman's desire to start a life in the company of the one she is in love with will be immediately cut short by the jealousies, hatreds and betrayals she will find at the core of her new family. A series of deceptions and conjurations that will help Guinedell to strengthen her personality, to grow with each betrayal, even with that of her own husband. Guinedell, who has the same privileges as Count Guifré, will accompany him in his conquests and in the defense of the lands of the counties. A woman who will grow strong, make political and strategic decisions and mediate between her husband and the Saracens, putting her own life in danger.The independent action with respect to the Frankish kings will compensate them with victories and triumphs, which will make the Guinedell-Guifré couple a respected and feared tandem.A vibrant novel that narrates the life of the Countess of Empúries, a woman ignored by historiography but who was crucial to the history of Catalonia.
