| Notes | The story begins after Elizabeth's first husband, Sir John Grey of the House of Lancaster, is killed in battle. With the help of her mother, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, she bewitches King Edward IV and marries the king in secret. The story follows Elizabeth's life from her first meeting with Edward, through to his death and its aftermath.[3] The mystery of the Princes in the Tower forms part of the action, with the novel questioning whether King Richard III was guilty of having the boys killed. In the novel, young Prince Richard is not sent to the tower; Queen Elizabeth instead substitutes a page boy for the prince, who escapes and lives under an assumed name. The novel ends in 1485, just prior to the Battle of Bosworth. [wikipedia] |
