Description

This volume recounts the lives of the mother and wife of Harun al-Rashid, contemporary of Charlemagne and hero of many a tale from the "Arabian Nights". Khaizuran and Zubaidah, the "two queens", flouted the taboos of Muslim society and left their imprint on a key period of Islamic history.
