Biografía fantástica Alba B.

Alba B. B. fue una gran estratega y luchadora que estuvo en las filas de Jaume 1er y le ayudó a conquistar Valencia.

Nació con el nombre de Aube en Tolosa, Francia y era la mayor de dos hermanos. Su hermano Marc se convertiría en un gran arquitecto de la época.

Aube nació en el 1200. Su tío trabajaba con Jaume 1er y a ella le encantaban las estrategias así que con 15 años, ella decidió hacerse estratega guerrera.

Su padre era un rico comerciante y su madre una mujer culta que era amiga de Jaume 1er. Éste no tardó en darse cuenta de el valor de Aube y la escogió para sus filas. Fue la única mujer en el ejército. Cuando iban a atacar Valencia, Aube detuvo a Jaume 1er y le dijo que más valía maña que fuerza y su estrategia funcionó perfectamente.

Tras recibir una generosa recompensa, tradujo su nombre al español para recordar siempre esa batalla y se compró un castillo en Aragón, donde murió con 75 años rodeada de los bosques, praderas y flores que tanto le gustaban, pues también tenía una parte tranquila y dulce que no todos los guerreros consiguen.
