![]() 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 sinewy political 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. ![]()
