Description

The extraordinary true story of Margaret Beaufort, the 'Red Queen'. Born in the midst of the Wars of the Roses, she became the greatest heiress of her time, surviving a turbulent life marked by marriage, imprisonment, and betrayal. Her determination to secure her son's claim to the throne drove her to form alliances and take risks that would ultimately change the course of English history. Margaret's story is one of passion, politics, and perseverance. She married four times, including to the king's half-brother, and bore her only child, the future Henry VII, before her fourteenth birthday. Her relationship with her son was deeply personal, and she worked tirelessly to promote his claims, even when it meant taking a stand against her own family and the law. Her legacy is a testament to her strength and conviction. This book tells the story of Margaret Beaufort, a woman who defied convention and forged her own path in a world dominated by men. Through her remarkable life, Elizabeth Norton sheds light on a pivotal moment in English history, revealing the complexities and challenges faced by those who sought to shape the future of the nation.
