Description
Elizabeth of York: A Royal Enigma Elizabeth of York was a woman of mystery and intrigue, whose life was marked by both triumph and tragedy. As the eldest daughter of Edward IV, she was catapulted to the throne after the probable murders of her brothers, the Princes in the Tower. Her marriage to Henry VII, the first Tudor king, united the rival houses of Lancaster and York, but also led to a life of relative obscurity. Despite her humble status, Elizabeth played a significant role in shaping the course of English history. Her schemes to marry Richard III and her possible involvement in the mysterious disappearance of her husband's son have long been the subject of debate among historians. Alison Weir's meticulously researched biography sheds new light on this enigmatic queen, revealing the complex web of alliances and rivalries that defined her world. Through her fascinating portrait of Elizabeth of York, Alison Weir offers a nuanced and engaging exploration of a pivotal moment in English history. By placing her subject in the context of the tumultuous 15th century, Weir reveals the woman behind the myth, and offers a fresh perspective on this fascinating period.
