Princess of Cleves

Overview

A teen marries the Prince of Clèves, more than twice her age, which makes her an official Princess, a position she takes to heart. Although distracted by elite entertainments often found at court, the princess cannot help but mourn her impossible love for the dashing Duke of Nemours.
