Description
The Thistle and the Rose Margaret, the first Tudor princess and queen consort of Scotland, has long been overlooked by historians. Yet, her life was one of great drama, marked by both privilege and pain. Recent research has revealed a woman far removed from the popular image of an oversexed and troubled figure. As the child-woman who married James IV of Scotland at just thirteen, Margaret became a successful queen consort, presiding over a colourful and cultured court at some of Scotland's most beautiful palaces. However, her world was transformed by James' death at the disastrous battle of Flodden in 1513, forcing her to make stark choices that would have far-reaching consequences. This book tells the story of Margaret's remarkable life, revealing a gifted politician and diplomatist who navigated the complex world of Scottish politics and family feuds with remarkable skill and determination.
