Summary:
"New
York
Times bestselling author Alison Weir explores the life of Henry VIII's mother,
Elizabeth
, the first queen of the Tudor dynasty, in this stunning historical
novel
.
Elizabeth
of
York
is the oldest daughter of King Edward IV. Flame-haired, beautiful, and sweet-natured, she is adored by her family; yet her life is suddenly disrupted when her beloved father dies in the prime of life. Her uncle, the notorious Richard III, takes advantage of King Edward's death to grab the throne and imprison
Elizabeth
's two younger brothers, the rightful royal heirs. Forever afterwards known as the princes in the tower, the boys are never seen again. On the heels of this tragedy,
Elizabeth
is subjected to Richard's overtures to make her his wife, further legitimizing his claim to the throne. King Richard has murdered her brothers, yet she is obliged to accept his proposal. As if in a fairy tale,
Elizabeth
is saved by Henry Tudor, who challenges Richard and kills him in the legendary Battle of Bosworth Field. In recognition of his victory, Henry becomes king and asks
Elizabeth
to be his wife, the first queen of the Tudor line. The marriage is happy and fruitful, not only uniting the warring houses of Lancaster and
York
-- the red and
white
roses -- but resulting in four surviving children, one of whom, Henry VIII, will rule the country for the next thirty-six years. As in her popular Six Tudor Queens series, Alison Weir captures the personality of one of Britain's most important monarchs, conveying
Elizabeth
of
York
's dramatic life in a
novel
that is all the richer because of its firm basis in history."--Publisher.
