After more than five decades subjected to France, the kingdom of Navarre -which was at that time the smallest country in the West- regained its place among the rest of the European courts in 1328 with the arrival on the throne of Juana II, the one who had been stripped of her rights to the French crown by the mere fact of having been born a woman. Married to Felipe III of Evreux, the new dynasty progressively took root until it represented with Carlos II, Carlos III, Blanca I of Navarra and the Prince of Viana -who should have been Carlos IV-, everything for which we continue to remember today such a momentous time in our history. Proud heirs and staunch guardians of a centuries-old legacy that linked them to the memory of Charlemagne and Saint Louis of France -the two most prestigious and legendary monarchs in the mentality of the time-, this book unravels the tangle of prophecies, sacred relics, real and -at the same time- fantastic chronicles, epic poems, jewels, banned shields, coins and illuminated codices, to end up understanding what the kings of Navarre of the Evreux dynasty carried in their heads and also in their hearts.
