The Real White Queen and Her Rivals

OBSAH

Philippa Gregory concludes her examination of the three women who inspired her series of novels The Cousins' War and the recent adaptation on BBC One. Elizabeth Woodville, the White Queen of the title, suffered tragedy as she struggled to hold on to the throne for herself and her children, while Anne Neville was born into power and privilege and survived traumatic losses to become the wife of Richard III. Margaret Beaufort devoted her life to the cause of her son Henry Tudor and played a cunning game of alliance and conspiracy to keep his claim to the throne of England alive.
