*NEW BOOK
THE WOODVILLE WOMEN: 100 YEARS OF PLANTAGENET AND TUDOR HISTORY
This is the tale of three generations of women, linked by their name, Elizabeth, and their family connections. Individually they each have their own fascinating story to tell; together their combined stories take us on a journey through a century of English life. Beginning in the reign of the great Plantagenet Kings and ending in the reign of perhaps England’s most famous dynasty, that of the Tudor Kings and Queens, these three women experienced some of the most exciting and troubled times in English history. From the birth of our first Elizabeth, to the death of our last, they lived through wars and coronations, births and deaths, celebration and tragedy. Mother, daughter and granddaughter - this is the story of Elizabeth Woodville, Elizabeth of York and Elizabeth Grey.

'I would call this book history from the women’s point of view. The standard history books are full of politics, battles and male roles. Here we can read how the women felt when their men fought'.

This book is the narrative of three women of York, sisters to not one, but two kings of England. Anne, Elizabeth and Margaret Plantagenet were the daughters of Richard, Duke of York and his wife, Cecily Neville, and therefore sisters to Edward IV and Richard III. These women watched from the side lines as their father challenged England’s anointed king and lost his life, as their brothers fought together for the throne of England and then amongst themselves and as the Plantagenet dynasty fell, making way for the reign of the Tudors. But they were not just bystanders; they have their own story to tell. Anne of York was married to the Lancastrian Duke of Exeter who sided against her father and brother, before finding later happiness, albeit briefly, with her second husband. Elizabeth of York married John de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk and became the mother of eleven children who would become thorns in the side of the Tudor Kings and Margaret of York became Duchess of Burgundy, a hugely influential woman in her adopted kingdom although she never stopped supporting her family back in England. Between them they witnessed and contributed to one of the most turbulent times in English history yet they have naturally been overshadowed by their more famous brothers. This is their story.
