Zusatztext “The publication of two books this season by Philippa Gregory gives us not only two more fascinating portraits of the English Wars of the Roses! it also opens a window onto the way the bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl applies her craft.” Informationen zum Autor Philippa Gregory, David Baldwin and Michael Jones Klappentext Includes a reading group guide (p. [345-350]). Zusammenfassung #1 New York Times bestselling author Philippa Gregory joins two eminent historians to explore the extraordinary true stories of three women largely forgotten by history: Jacquetta! Duchess of Bedford; Elizabeth Woodville! queen of England; and Margaret Beaufort! the founder of the Tudor dynasty. In her essay on Jacquetta! Philippa Gregory uses original documents! archaeology! and histories of myth and witchcraft to create the first-ever biography of the young duchess who survived two reigns and two wars to become the first lady at two rival courts. David Baldwin! established authority on the Wars of the Roses! tells the story of Elizabeth Woodville! the first commoner to marry a king of England for love. And Michael Jones! fellow of the Royal Historical Society! writes of Margaret Beaufort! the almost-unknown matriarch of the House of Tudor. Beautifully illustrated throughout with rare portraits and source materials! The Women of the Cousins’ War offers fascinating insights into the inspirations behind Philippa Gregory’s fiction and will appeal to all with an interest in this epic period.
