"We do not bring the King a wife to rule, but to give birth," the nobles used to say when they were choosing brides for him.You can imagine how unpleasantly surprised they were when they discovered that they had brought an Italian bride for Sigismund the Elder who believed that she was born to rule - first and foremost men.
This tour is an invitation to get to know an educated, charismatic woman who suffered from chicken pox as a child, had a best friend, Sabinela, and a puppy, Barry. Then she grew up and became a ruler: she painted her eyes with henna, took care of paracas, drained swamps, traded ashes, ate meat cakes and spent 7 years in Vilnius.
How did Bona feel in our rain? And how did she feel in her children's rooms? What did a ruler have in common with a Turkish harem? How did she get on with her own Sigismund - much older than her? What would the daughters-in-law say about Bona? Subordinates? And is it really true that she was "the woman who escaped the curse of love"?
After this walk, we hope you will choose your own comma in the title of the tour, LOVE CAN'T RULE.
Start of the tour: at St.
End:Bona Sforza's Renaissance Garden next to the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania.
Duration:About 1 hour. 30 minutes.
