Description

Margaret Beaufort's life was one of calculated risk and unyielding determination. As the battle for royal supremacy raged between the houses of Lancaster and York, she found herself at the centre of a maelstrom of conspiracies and intrigue. Separated from her son for fourteen years, Margaret remained steadfast in her pursuit of power, narrowly escaping execution before plotting to overthrow Richard III. Against all odds, Henry Tudor emerged victorious on the battlefield at Bosworth, securing his claim to the throne and cementing Margaret's position as a force to be reckoned with. Her unrelenting efforts ultimately led to her son's coronation as King Henry VII, and Margaret herself became one of the most powerful women in England. This book offers a fresh perspective on a fascinating figure, shedding light on the many myths that have surrounded Margaret Beaufort over the years. Through meticulous research, Nicola Tallis reveals the real woman behind the legend, an independent and vibrant character who risked everything to achieve her goals.
