Description
This richly researched biography brings Elizabeth of York—the daughter of a deposed king, wife of Henry VII, and mother of Henry VIII—out from the shadows of Tudor history. Set against the dynastic turmoil of the Wars of the Roses, it follows her journey through political upheaval, royal marriage, motherhood, and the creation of a new Tudor dynasty. Drawing on contemporary chronicles and surviving evidence, the book explores Elizabeth’s character, influence, family loyalties, and the constrained yet significant role of women in medieval and early Tudor England. It offers a vivid portrait of a queen whose life stood at the crossroads of two royal houses and helped shape the future of England.
