Print on Demand. This book tells the stories of Isabelle de Castille, Jeanne de Constantinople, and Don Henrique. Three lives full of adventure, faith, and courage. Isabelle de Castille reigned as Queen of Spain during a period of vast political, social, and religious transformation. This book explores her role in the conquest of Granada, the funding of Christopher Columbus's expedition, and the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition. Jeanne de Constantinople was a countess accused of parricide. She is an enigmatic figure whose life has been the subject of much debate. This book examines the historical record and attempts to separate fact from fiction in the story of her life. Don Henrique was a prince who dedicated his life to exploration. He founded a school of navigation and supported the voyages of many famous explorers, including Christopher Columbus. This book explores his role in the Age of Discovery and the impact of his work on the world. Through these three stories, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the medieval world. The author explores themes of faith, ambition, and the struggle for power, painting a vivid picture of a time of great change and upheaval. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

On le sait, les barbares au dehors, les hérétiques au dedans ruinèrent ce magnifique empire qui s'étendait en Europe, en Asie et en Afrique; l'hérésie semblait propre au génie subtil de ces peuples orientaux, et à chaque instant sortait du désert, des contrées reculées de la Palestine ou de l'égypte, quelque moine, quelque ascète qui opposait ses idées personnelles au grand concile de Nicée, à la croyance de quatre siècles, à la foi ferme dont Rome tenait le drapeau. Au temps où Théodose II régnait, Nestorius était patriarche de Constantinople; son élo quence, alimentée par une imagination vive, avait charmé le peuple, et quoiqu'il parût bien doux, il persécuta cruel lement les Ariens, les Marcionites, les Valentiniens, les hérétiques multiples qui se pressaient dans les villes de son patriarchat. Cassien disait de lui ironiquement Nestorius prenait les devants pour qu'il ne restât au monde d'autre hérésie que la sienne.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
