Summary "Queen Maria Sophia of Naples, a Forgotten Heroine" by Carl Küchler is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work aims to shed light on the life of Maria Sophia, Queen of Naples, portraying her as a forgotten heroine amidst the political turmoil of her time, particularly during the struggle for Italian unity. The narrative details her extraordinary character, particularly her courage, beauty, and the challenges she faced in her marriage to a weak king. At the start of the book, the translator's preface introduces Queen Maria Sophia against the backdrop of European royalty, particularly her connections to other royal figures like Elizabeth of Hungary. It highlights her marriage to Francis II during a critical period of upheaval in Italy, detailing her initial arrival in Naples and the challenges she faced, including a complicated relationship with her husband and the animosity from his mother, Queen Maria Theresa. The opening sets the stage for Maria Sophia's story filled with personal and political complexities, emphasizing her strength amidst adversity as events unfold around her.
