![]() ![]() ![]() In this completely original book, acclaimed author Sarah Gristwood sheds light on a neglected dimension of English history: the impact of Tudor women on the Wars of the Roses. These years were also packed with women's drama and – in the tales of conflicted maternity and monstrous births – alive with female energy. ![]() ![]() The reality though, argues Sarah Gristwood, was quite different. The events of the Wars of the Roses are usually described in terms of the men involved Richard, Duke of York, Henry VI, Edward IV and Henry VII. It is a fiery history of Queens, the perils of power and of how the Wars of the Roses were ended – not by knights in battle, but the political and dynastic skills of women. From best-selling historian, Sarah Gristwood comes the true story behind Philippa Gregory’s recent novels – the women who gave birth to the Tudor dynasty. ![]()
