Karin for Queen

Debbie, ,

Plot

Queen Helena of Ravia rarely appears in public because of her shyness. So the nobles, led by Baron de Guise, want to put Helena’s cousin Prince Hugo on the throne, deeming him a better ruler.  Bess, the Queen’s old nurse, tries to outwit the Baron by training a wandering player, Karin, to take the Queen’s place. Prince Hugo agrees to this, but the Baron  is determined to stop the Queen from being crowned, and it may only be a matter of time before he discovers Karin.
