This remarkable translation portrays Helene Kottannerin s thrilling and rare autobiographical tale of stealing the Hungarian royal crown in 1440 to protect the throne for the unborn heir of Queen Elizabeth of Luxembourg. BRIn a time of political uncertainty following King Albert II s death, the pregnant and widowed queen entrusted her lady-in-waiting, Helene, with the daring mission to retrieve the kingdom s Holy Crown from the castle of Visegrád. Helene s successful theft not only altered the course of Hungarian history but also inspired her to compose one of the most extraordinary autobiographical documents of late medieval Central Europe a rarity for its time, especially from a woman s perspective. Esteemed historians and translators Julia Burkhardt, Christina Lutter, and Jonathan R. Lyon offer an up-to-date English translation of Helene s vivid narrative, originally written in Early New High German. Supplemented by the authors insightful commentary on the history, culture, and implications surrounding Helene s actions and writing, this book is a unique historical source accessible to students and general readers alike. BRHelene s enthralling story provides an unparalleled window into the world of fifteenth-century court politics, female agency, and the power of personal testimony.
