Description

Elizabeth Woodville: A Reappraisal of Her Life and Legacy This biography offers a fresh perspective on Elizabeth Woodville, the enigmatic queen who has been portrayed in various ways by historians and dramatists. David Baldwin's account sets out to reveal the truth behind her complex character, exploring her rise to prominence and her influence on the major events of her husband's reign. The book delves into the personal and domestic politics of Yorkist England, shedding light on the elaborate ritual of court life and the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that defined this period. Baldwin also examines the fate of Elizabeth's two sons, the 'Princes in the Tower', and the campaign of vilification mounted by Richard III against her. By tracing Elizabeth's career and its impact on the course of history, Baldwin brings to life a fascinating figure who has been both championed and vilified over the centuries.
