Synopsis

Elizabeth Wydeville, Queen consort to Edward Iv, has traditionally been portrayed as a scheming opportunist. But was she a cunning vixen or a tragic wife and mother? As this extraordinary biography shows, the first queen to bear the name Elizabeth lived a life of tragedy, love, and loss that no other queen has since endured. This shocking revelation about the survival of one woman through vilification and adversity shows Elizabeth as a beautiful and distraught mother of the two lost Princes in the Tower and an innocent queen slandered by politicians.
