STARRABBA, Raffaele (Ed.) Sources on the regency of Blanche I Queen Consort of Sicily (1402-1419)4to. 311p. (Documenti per Servire alla Storia di Sicilia Pubblicati a Cura della Società Siciliana per la Storia Patria. Prima Serie - Diplomatica, Vol X - Fasc. I & II bound together). Half vellum; printed wrappers with title page not bound in. First publication of most of the surviving archives relating to the troubled regency of Blanche of Navarre, widowed Queen Consort of Sicily (1402-1409), the 2nd wife of Martin I (the younger) of Sicily, who was appointed to act as vicar and lieutenant for her deceased husband's father who succeeded as Martin II of Sicily. Meantime the throne remained vacant and the country dissolved into a chaos of factions. Blanche ruled with the help of a council of named advisers from which the powerful Grand Justiciar, Count Bernardo Cabrera, had been excluded. He attempted to marry her by force and so crown himself king. Fine copy.
