Women close to the thrones of York, Lancaster and Tudor were political pawns, but they could become rich and powerful beyond other women’s dreams. As daughters of the Renaissance they were educated as their mothers had never been, but they lived in the shadow of the scaffold. Together, Vanora Bennett and Emma Darwin explore what it meant to be the mother, the wife or the daughter of a king, trying to carve out a life and keep it, in the violent, glamorous, male world of late medieval and Tudor England.
