5.0 out of 5 stars A very funny and delightful medieval romance 30 July 2002
By ambersaxon696
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"Lady Fortune" is my favourite Anne Stuart novel. It is so good and funny that I've already read it twice.The story is set in Medieval England during the rule of King Henry III. The main female character is Lady Julianna a recently widowed young woman who travels to Fortham Castle to be reunited with her mother.She has suffered during her marriage to a lecherous old man and she cannot forgive her mother to let her marry him as an 11 year old child. The leading male character is Nicholas Strangefellow the king's jester who is sent to Castle Fortham by the king to find a precious chalice with a funny name. He is a very handsome young man full of jokes and funny but very biting rhymes.
These two characters are forced to spend some time together and their union is so unlikely that at the end it becomes natural.
Julianna is very innocent and she doesn't know anything about court life and love. She can't stand the sight of Nicholas but she is drawn to him by forces stronger than her will. She starts to feel compassion for him, he excites her, he awakens her sexual awareness and at the end she falls in love with him. Nicholas is well experienced in court life and he knows everything about the physical side of love. He feels sorry for Julianna and she irritates him with her innocence and ignorance. She is a challenge for him he seduces her but he manages to lose his heart at the process as well. The storyline goes around the chase after the Blessed Chalice of The Martyred St. Hugelina The Dragon. Everybody is after it for their own secret resons.For Nicholas it would mean his freedom from being a court jester and finally settling down on his own land.The funny and fanatic Abbot of St. Hugelina has some different greedy intentions....

5.0 out of 5 stars Stuart at her dazzling best - as always! 6 July 2004
By Deborah MacGillivray HALL OF FAME VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Anne Stuart has a habit of conjuring dark and dangerous men, men that are not your normal heroes, and makes you fall for them. She has given supposed killers, a hit man, a mercenary, even a cult leader. It's as if she likes to tweak our noses and say I can make you love the devil when you tell me you won't. And she does it like none other. This time the challenge was to make you love a fool. Not an idiot, but a real fool for the King Henry of England. Nicholas Strangefellow is the fool for the King, but being a contrary Stuart character he's not your average fool. He is tall, handsome and much brighter than anyone stops to see.

The King sees some of it, thus he trust Nicholas on a special errand for him, fetch back a holy relic - a challis of the blessed Saint Hugelina the Dragon - and he will reward Nicholas. Nicholas has long used the mask of the fool to his advantage, and sees the task as the end of the road. A son of a baron, he saw the family lands take and his father killed when he chose to fight on the wrong side of the struggle with Henry and his sons. He was forced to survive on his wits, and what better way to curry favor than by playing the buffoon? The Challis in the keeping of Lord Hugh. Hugh is to marry Isabeau, so Henry sends Nicholas to the couple to entertain at their wedding feast, giving him the opportunity of stealing the cup.

Nicholas travels in the company of Juilanna, the estranged daughter of Isabeau, and the young widow soon intrigues him. Julianna was wed when she was eleven years old to a sixty-year-old man. For ten years, she has hated her mother for allowing her father to marry her off, so returning for her mother's marriage is not something she is looking forward to....

Nicholas Strangefellow is a very complex man, not your typical hard as nails Stuart Bad Boy, but he still is a delight. Stuart writes with the realities of conditions and life for women in the Middles Ages without pulling punches, and gives you a rich set of characters for her merry tale. Stuart at top form - but when is she not? Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Just love a fool! 1 May 2001
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
No-one writes hostorical romance quite like Anne Stuart. This one is no exception! Absolutely loved the heroine and hero (especially the hero!) and even enjoyed the secondary love story. This is one writer who knows her stuff well and almost never fails to entertain.
