The true story of the White Queen and more, this is a thrilling
history of the extraordinary noblewomen who lived through the Wars
of the Roses. The events of the Wars of the Roses are usually
described in terms of the men involved: Richard Duke of York, Henry
VI, Edward IV, Richard III and Henry VII. But these years were also
packed with women's drama and - in the tales of conflicted
maternity and monstrous births - alive with female energy. In this
completely original book, Sarah Gristwood sheds light on a
neglected dimension of English history: the impact of Tudor women
on the Wars of the Roses. She examines, among others, Cecily
Neville, who was deprived of being queen when her husband died at
the Battle of Wakefield; Elizabeth Woodville, the commoner who
married Edward IV in secret; Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry
VII, whose love and ambition for her son knew no bounds. Until now,
the lives of these women have remained little known to the general
public. Sarah Gristwood tells their stories in detail for the first
time. Captivating and original, this is historical writing of the
most important kind.
