The first full-length biography of a much maligned - but astonishingly colourful - Queen of England.
Alison Weir lives and works in Surrey. Her books include Britain's Royal Families, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, The Princes in the Tower, Children of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry VIII- King and Court, and Mary, Queen of Scots.
"This is history that reads like a novel. Weir writes lucidly, with an eye for the details that bring the period to life."-"Daily Mail""Alison Weir succeeds in bringing to life a murky period of history, which has been shrouded in myth and legend . . . and helps us to appreciate how a resourceful and intelligent woman managed to cope and even triumph in difficult circumstances."-"Literary Review""This enthralling biography doesn't just correct the calumny of centuries, it provides a beautifully nuanced portrait of a fascinating lady and gives a vivid sense of the riotous realpolitik of medieval times."-"Scotsman"
