The Seal of Theodore Palaiologos

“Perché Martino e Meb Bellini lasciarono Oleggio per andare a Genova? Perché Theodoro Palaiologos compì un pericoloso viaggio dal Monferrato ad Avignone? La traduzione inglese de IL SIGILLO DI TEODORO amplia l'orizzonte antropologico dell'autrice alla difficile relazione fra l'isola inglese e il patrimonio culturale europeo.”
All of M.V.Cavina's books are based on the accumulated experiences of twenty-six generations of the bloodline to which the author belongs and are the product of her imagination. This book and the trilogy "An Italian Saga" are based on private papers and documents from the Library of Trino. They tell the story of a Knight of Saint Martin, his wife and their friendship with Argentina Spinola and Theodore Palaiologos, son of Andronicus II Ducas Angelus Comnenus Palaiologos and Irene alias Violante, the sister of John Aleramici, the Marquess of Montferrat in Piedmont, Italy. The Seal used by Theodore in MCCCXXXVI Anno Domini is the key to understanding how the nobleman convinced the Avignon Pope and the king of France to renounce their plans for a crusade and maintain peace in the Mediterranean. The author was born in Bologna, Alma Mater Studiorum Studentorum, a citizenship "in forma navis conglutinata". Available on Amazon
