Anne and Charles: Passion and Politics in Late Medieval FranceWhen Anne of Brittany's father dies in 1488, the eleven year old beauty becomes Duchess of Brittany, her country's ruler. For the next three years, the orphaned, unmarried young duchess is relentlessly pursued by suitors while Brittany is invaded by France, its larger, more powerful neighbor. With no other way out, at age fourteen she agrees to marry King Charles VIII of France, in order to save her country. Better to be a queen than a prisoner

When Anne of Brittany's father dies in 1488, the eleven-year-old beauty becomes Duchess of Brittany, her country's ruler. For the next three years, the orphaned, unmarried young duchess is relentlessly pursued by suitors while Brittany is invaded by France, its larger, more powerful neighbor. With no other way out, at age fourteen she agrees to marry King Charles VIII of France, in order to save her country. Better to be a queen than a prisoner...

Unexpectedly, a passionate relationship ensues. Yet Charles cannot shake the bad habits he has brought into their marriage, and Anne cannot help him in his darkest area of struggle.

Together, they introduce the wonders of the Italian Renaissance to France, building one of Europe's most glorious 15th-century courts at their royal residence in Amboise, in the heart of the Loire Valley.

But year after year they fail to achieve the most important aim they must accomplish in order to secure the future of their kingdom. As they desperately attempt to make their shared dream come true, an unexpected twist of fate irrevocably changes the fortunes of both Anne and Charles.

Anne & Charles is Book One of the Anne of Brittany Series, the tale of the only woman in history to be twice-crowned queen of France. Publishers Weekly says "comparable titles are Philippa Gregory's Plantagenet and Tudor Novels." (Booklife, April 23, 2018)

Smells too strong
Size: 5 in
My dog hates the way this thing smells. She tries to play with it, but the scent is too strong for her nose. I know it's the scent because she usually sniffs it two or three times in between trying to grab it with her mouth. She treats it like an explosive in her mouth and quickly moves away after spitting it out. She used to have a bone that looked similar to this (same material) that was unscented and she gnawed the hell out of it. My sister's pitbull spent the night and chewed that toy into bits, leaving my Yorkie mourning the loss of her once treasured bone. Please make an UNSCENTED version of this toy!!!!

Worth the money for heavy chewers
Color: Brown-X
I finally found a dog chew that my puppy can't destroy in a half an hour or less. My puppy loves this, chews on it for hours and still holding up.

Holds up to a
Color: Brown-O
Bought this because of other positive reviews. It does hold up to an aggressive chewer but the pieces are sharp once it’s “broken in”. I bought the circular one as I figured that one would be less likely to break. It is still good after about 6 weeks.

My dog didn’t take to it, but yours might.
Color: Brown-O
This is a very durable toy that’s reasonably priced. For some reason, my dog didn’t take to it. It might be the round shape, but there’s nothing wrong with the product. The size is good for large dogs. My dog is 50 pounds and there’s a chance it was too big for him. I’m not sure. But I think if your dog has enjoyed other similar toys, this is a good buy.

Fun and practical for our power chewer
Color: Brown-O
Four paws up! It is great for chewing and for rolling in a fetch game. Our powerful chewer loves it!
