Les reines de sang - Catherine Sforza, la lionne de Lombardie #1

Part of Delcourt's Les Reines de Sang series, this 2021 volume opens the story of Catherine Sforza — "La Lionne de Lombardie" — with a cover that immediately commands attention: a composed, red-gowned noblewoman seated on a throne, flanked by a great black eagle and a coiling blue dragon, rose petals scattered at her feet. The imagery signals a woman of formidable power and mythic stature, perfectly suited to a historical series celebrating history's most remarkable queens. With Pécau, Parma, and Fogolin collaborating, this first volume promises a richly illustrated portrait of Renaissance Italy's most defiant ruler.
