The Real White Queen And Her RivalsEp1

Bestselling author and historian Philippa Gregory presents a convincing and emotional portrait of three women at the very centre of the War of the Roses. At the centre of this turbulent feud were three women. Elizabeth Woodville, the White Queen, was the wife of Edward IV. Margaret Beaufort, the Red Queen, was the mother of first Tudor King Henry VII. And Anne Neville was the daughter of the Earl of Warwick ? the most powerful man in the country ? and wife of Richard III ? England?s most notorious king. This series offers a convincing emotional portrait of three women caught in a whirl of conspiracy and bloodshed whose wishes and hopes were as critical as the aspirations of important men.
