THE WOMEN OF THE COUSINS’ WAR
Book ID/图书代码： 12290022C00057
English Summary/英文概要： #1 New York Times bestselling author Philippa
Gregory joins two eminent historians to explore
the extraordinary true stories of three women
forgotten by history.
In her essay on Jacquetta Duchess of Bedford, Philippa
Gregory uses original documents, archaeology, and histories
of myth and witchcraft to create the first-ever biography of
the young duchess who survived two reigns and two wars
to become the first lady at two rival courts. David Baldwin,
established authority on the Wars of the Roses, tells the
story of Elizabeth Woodville, the first commoner to marry a
king of England for love. And Michael Jones, fellow of the
Royal Historical Society, writes of Margaret Beaufort, the
almost-unknown matriarch of the House of Tudor.
Beautifully illustrated throughout with rare portraits and
source materials, The Women of the Cousins’ War offers
fascinating insights into the inspirations behind Philippa
Gregory’s fiction and will appeal to all with an interest in
this epic period.
