'An important and timely book.' - Philippa Gregory Joan of Navarre
was the richest woman in the land, at a time when war-torn England
was penniless. Eleanor Cobham was the wife of a weak king's uncle -
and her husband was about to fall from grace. Jacquetta Woodville
was a personal enemy of Warwick the Kingmaker, who was about to
take his revenge. Elizabeth Woodville was the widowed mother of a
child king, fighting Richard III for her children's lives. In Royal
Witches, Gemma Hollman explores the lives of these four unique
women, looking at how rumours of witchcraft brought them to their
knees in a time when superstition and suspicion was rife.
