Description
Lady Margaret Douglas was a woman of remarkable ambition and cunning. As niece to Henry VIII and half-sister to James V of Scotland, she held a unique position in the English court. Throughout her life, she navigated treacherous waters, where survival depended on her ability to adapt. As the Protestant Reformation unfolded across the British Isles, Margaret had ambitions of her own: to see her family rule a united, Catholic Britain. When her niece Mary, Queen of Scots was widowed, Margaret saw her chance. With a Machiavellian strategy, she set in motion a chain of events that would secure her descendants' succession to the crowns of England, Ireland and Scotland. Drawing on previously unexamined archival sources, this biography revives the story of Lady Margaret Douglas with vivid and captivating effect, shedding new light on a forgotten Tudor princess.
