Queen Constance's Angel

Audiobook Angel of Queen Constance, written by Naďa Horáková, narrated by Magdaléna Holcová, directed by Vladan Hýl. In 1236, Judge Pardus Tvrdišovec arrives in Hodonín at the head of a punitive expedition to investigate who killed Queen Constance's reeve, Petr, and why. Pardus was born in this region, so he understands the nature of the local people, who still believe in the old gods and worship the witches living in the surrounding swamps. Queen Constance has also tasked him with ensuring the safety of new settlers who are to move into the town and its surroundings. The situation escalates when an old Franciscan monk arrives in Hodonín and joins forces with the fanatical local priest… The novel is inspired by a charter from Queen Constance of Hungary, in which she elevates Hodonín to a royal town and grants it extensive rights, while also calling for the punishment of her reeve's murderers.
