People of Barcelona

Did you know that, in a fit of jealousy, Ramon Berenguer III ordered the execution of the troubadour who complimented his wife, Douce I of Provence? Or that he stewed her potential suitor’s heart and fed it to her, and she never ate again? Or that Teresa d’Entença got married at the age of 13? Or that Blanche I of Navarre was shut away in a tower with just bread and water, but a friendly shepherd brought her milk and cheese in secret?

These are real women made of flesh and blood with virtues and flaws, hopes and ambitions, all of whom were linked to the House of Barcelona. Eighteen women – ladies, queens and abbesses – who had no choice but to live in a hostile world.
