Description
Margaret Pole: The Countess in the Tower is a gripping account of one of the most tragic figures of the Tudor era. Born into a life of royal privilege, Margaret's fate was forever changed by the turmoil and violence that ravaged her family. From her early years as the daughter of a duke to her eventual imprisonment in the Tower, Margaret's story is marked by tragedy and upheaval. Despite her own struggles with faith and loyalty, she remained a steadfast friend to those around her, including Katherine of Aragon and her beloved daughter Mary. This book tells the story of one of the most unlikely prisoners of the Tower, a woman whose life was cut short in brutal circumstances. Margaret Pole's remarkable story is one of survival, sacrifice, and ultimately, beatification centuries after her death.
