Jak p\u00ed\u0161e Hana Whitton, ji\u017e v\u00a0\u00fatl\u00e9m ml\u00e1d\u00ed si pr\u00fd p\u0159edsevzala, \u017ee nikdy nezest\u00e1rne, nikdy nezem\u0159e a stane se kr\u00e1lovnou. A to v\u0161e se j\u00ed sv\u00fdm zp\u016fsobem splnilo.<\/p>\n
Al\u017eb\u011bta pro\u017eila d\u011btstv\u00ed na panstv\u00ed Linlithgow a Combe, obklopen\u00e1 ciz\u00edmi lidmi, kte\u0159\u00ed z\u00a0n\u00ed m\u011bli vychovat pravou d\u00e1mu. Kdy\u017e byla pozd\u011bji kone\u010dn\u011b pozv\u00e1na ke dvoru, kde pro ni jedinou oporu p\u0159edstavoval milovan\u00fd star\u0161\u00ed bratr Jind\u0159ich, v\u011bd\u011bla, \u017ee se d\u0159\u00edv nebo pozd\u011bji bude muset provdat za mu\u017ee, jeho\u017e j\u00ed vyberou. Ani v\u00a0nejmen\u0161\u00edm v\u0161ak nedoufala, \u017ee v\u00a0mlad\u00e9m sask\u00e9m kurfi\u0159tovi Fridrichu Falck\u00e9m nalezne \u017eivotn\u00ed l\u00e1sku. A i on se do kr\u00e1sn\u00e9 Al\u017eb\u011bty na prvn\u00ed pohled zamiloval. Je\u0161t\u011b p\u0159ed svatbou v\u0161ak museli oba p\u0159ekonat nejen intriky anglick\u00e9 kr\u00e1lovny Anny a George Villierse, budouc\u00edho v\u00e9vody z\u00a0Buckinghamu, ale i tragickou smrt korunn\u00edho prince Jind\u0159icha.<\/p>\n
Al\u017eb\u011bta doufala, \u017ee v\u00a0Heidelbergu nalezne po boku milovan\u00e9ho man\u017eela nov\u00fd a \u0161\u0165astn\u00fd domov, ov\u0161em sv\u00e9hlav\u00e1 princezna se p\u0159\u00edli\u0161 nezamlouvala ani Fridrichov\u011b matce a ani jeho r\u00e1dci Kristi\u00e1novi z\u00a0Anhaltu. Nav\u00edc se oba mlad\u00ed man\u017eel\u00e9 v\u011bnovali rad\u011bji lovu a sami sob\u011b ne\u017eli st\u00e1tnick\u00fdm povinnostem.<\/p>\n
A to se nezm\u011bnilo, ani kdy\u017e Fridrich p\u0159ijal nab\u00edzenou \u010deskou korunu a spolu s\u00a0man\u017eelkou a nejstar\u0161\u00edm synem p\u0159es\u00eddlil do Prahy. Tato \u010d\u00e1st knihy je pro \u010desk\u00e9 \u010dten\u00e1\u0159e jist\u011b tou nejzaj\u00edmav\u011bj\u0161\u00ed, jeliko\u017e se dozv\u011bd\u00ed, pro\u010d mlad\u00fd kr\u00e1l, do n\u011bho\u017e n\u00e1rod vkl\u00e1dal tolik nad\u011bj\u00ed, tak zoufale zklamal. Mnoho z\u00a0chyb bylo zavin\u011bno jeho povahou, nerozhodnost\u00ed, nezku\u0161enost\u00ed a mladickou naivitou. V\u017edy\u0165 mu v\u00a0dob\u011b korunovace bylo pouh\u00fdch 24 let! O\u010dek\u00e1van\u00e1 finan\u010dn\u00ed a vojensk\u00e1 podpora od jeho anglick\u00e9ho tch\u00e1na nebyla rovn\u011b\u017e realizov\u00e1na. Po bitv\u011b na B\u00edl\u00e9 Ho\u0159e tak musel kr\u00e1lovsk\u00fd p\u00e1r narychlo uprchnout z\u00a0Prahy. Kam ale, kdy\u017e je v\u0161ichni opustili? Fridrich nav\u00edc ji\u017e p\u0159edt\u00edm p\u0159i\u0161el o Falc a postupn\u011b ztr\u00e1cel i zbytek sv\u00fdch l\u00e9n. Nov\u00fd domov tak rodina nalezla a\u017e v\u00a0Haagu u p\u0159\u00edbuzn\u00e9ho Mo\u0159ice Oran\u017esk\u00e9ho. Tam se tak\u00e9 Al\u017eb\u011bta setkala se sv\u00fdm druh\u00fdm osudov\u00fdm mu\u017eem \u2013 Williamem Cravenem, synem lond\u00fdnsk\u00e9ho starosty.<\/p>\n
Jako mnoz\u00ed p\u0159ed n\u00edm, i William se do uhran\u010div\u00e9 Al\u017eb\u011bty zamiloval a jeho l\u00e1ska trvala cel\u00fd \u017eivot, a\u010dkoli ji p\u0159e\u017eil o t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 35 let! Al\u017eb\u011bta toti\u017e vynikala nejen kr\u00e1sou, byla i chytr\u00e1, vtipn\u00e1, r\u00e1da jezdila na koni a \u00fa\u010dastnila se hon\u016f. A rovn\u011b\u017e se neb\u00e1la ve\u0159ejn\u011b projevovat sv\u00e9 city. Rozhodn\u011b nebyla typickou aristokratkou t\u00e9 doby, nev\u011bnovala se vy\u0161\u00edv\u00e1n\u00ed nebo malov\u00e1n\u00ed, sama hodn\u011b pe\u010dovala o sv\u00e9 d\u011bti a sv\u00e9mu man\u017eelovi radila i v\u00a0politick\u00fdch z\u00e1le\u017eitostech.<\/p>\n
Hana Whitton se nav\u00edc um\u00ed b\u00e1je\u010dn\u011b v\u017e\u00edt do postav, vykreslit jejich du\u0161evn\u00ed i emocion\u00e1ln\u00ed nalad\u011bn\u00ed a brilantn\u011b vystihnout atmosf\u00e9ru doby. P\u0159i \u010dten\u00ed m\u00e1te ob\u010das pocit, \u017ee jste se ocitli p\u0159\u00edmo ve st\u0159edu d\u011bn\u00ed, proh\u00e1n\u00edte se hust\u00fdm lesem s\u00a0ku\u0161\u00ed, \u00fa\u010dastn\u00edte se opulentn\u00ed hostiny ve Whitehallu, sed\u00edte v\u00a0lavici u sv.

Kniha ov\u0161em nepopisuje jen Al\u017eb\u011btin dobrodru\u017en\u00fd \u017eivot, ale v\u011bnuje se, alespo\u0148 okrajov\u011b, i jin\u00fdm v\u00fdznamn\u00fdm osobnostem, jako byli nap\u0159. William Shakespeare, John Donne, V\u00e1clav Hollar, Inigo Jones nebo Kristi\u00e1n z\u00a0Anhaltu. Nen\u00e1silnou formou se tak dozv\u00edte spoustu zaj\u00edmav\u00fdch informac\u00ed a detail\u016f, na jak\u00e9 ve \u0161kole nezbyl \u010das.<\/p>\n
A\u010dkoli Fridrich s\u00a0Al\u017eb\u011btou str\u00e1vili v\u00a0\u010cech\u00e1ch pouh\u00fd rok a jejich vl\u00e1da zde se d\u00e1 sotva pova\u017eovat za \u00fasp\u011b\u0161nou, p\u0159esto bychom nem\u011bli na jejich nev\u0161edn\u00ed p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh zapom\u00ednat. Byli to nav\u00edc sami \u010ce\u0161i, kdo si Fridricha za panovn\u00edka vybral, on s\u00e1m se o korunu neuch\u00e1zel, a je proto smutn\u00e9, jak snadno a rychle je po\u010d\u00e1te\u010dn\u00ed nad\u0161en\u00ed p\u0159e\u0161lo a mlad\u00fd p\u00e1r hodili p\u0159es palubu. Al\u017eb\u011btin osud se tak trochu podobal osudu jej\u00ed slavn\u00e9 babi\u010dky Marie Stuartovny, j\u00ed\u017e se pr\u00fd velmi podobala i vzhledov\u011b. Ob\u011b poznaly velkou l\u00e1sku, ob\u011b se staly kr\u00e1lovnami a ob\u011b musely ze sv\u00e9ho kr\u00e1lovstv\u00ed uprchnout. Na\u0161t\u011bst\u00ed v\u0161ak Al\u017eb\u011btin \u017eivot neskon\u010dil stejn\u011b tragicky jako ten Mariin.<\/p>\n
