Elizabeth Woodville, wife of Edward IV, mother of Elizabeth of York
and the Princes in the Tower, and grandmother of Henry VIII, has
been vilified and defended in turn. Was she a cunning enchantress,
an ambitious advancer of her family's fortunes, or a courageous and
tragic figure who lost husbands, brothers and sons during this
turbulent period? Discover the real story of the 'White Queen'.
Born into a family of Lancastrians, the exceptionally beautiful
Elizabeth captured the heart of the young Yorkist king, Edward IV,
and found herself caught in the complex web of rivalries, loves and
conspiracies that lay at the heart of the Wars of the Roses. She
would wield immense influence as queen, watch her brother-in-law
confine her sons to the Tower of London to face an unknown fate,
and ultimately unite the Houses of Lancaster and York through the
marriage of her daughter to Henry Tudor.
