She is the author of numerous works of history and historical fiction, specialising in the medieval and Tudor periods. Her bestselling history books include , Eleanor of Aquitaine , Elizabeth of York and, most recently, The Lost Tudor Princess . Her novels include Innocent Traitor , Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen and Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession . She is an Honorary Life Patron of Historic Royal Palaces. She is married with two adult children and lives and works in Surrey. Zusammenfassung She lived to be 82, but it was only in old age that she triumphed over the adversities and tragedies of her earlier years and became virtual ruler of England. Eleanor has exerted a fascination over writers and biographers for 800 years, but the prevailing myths and legends that attach to her name still tend to obscure the truth.
