The Other Tudor Princess brings to life the story of Margaret
Douglas, a shadowy and mysterious character in Tudor history - but
who now takes centre stage in this tale of the bitter struggle for
power during the reign of Henry VIII. Margaret is Henry's beloved
niece, but she defies the king by indulging in two scandalous
affairs and is imprisoned in the Tower of London on three occasions
'not for matters of treason, but for love'. Yet, when Henry turns
against his second wife Anne Boleyn and declares his daughters,
Mary and Elizabeth, bastards, it is Margaret he appoints as his
heir to the throne. The arrangement of the marriage of Margaret's
son, Lord Darnley, to his cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots unites their
claim to the throne and infuriates Queen Elizabeth. Yet this match
brings tragedy, as Margaret's son is brutally murdered. As Margaret
reaches old age, her place in the dynasty is still not safe, and
she dies in mysterious circumstances - was Margaret poisoned on the
orders of Queen Elizabeth? Mary McGrigor tells this compelling and
exciting part of Tudor history for the first time with all the
passion and thrill of a novel, but this is no fiction - the untold
story runs through the course of history, and Margaret secured the
throne for her Stuart ancestors for years to come.
