6/29/2023 0 Comments The white princess book review![]() The fact is, that if Elizabeth Woodville (the mother-in-law or Queen) would've said anything publicly, it would've been very bad for them. It wasn't until Shakespear's "Richard III" that we get his version of events, which was 100 plus years after the fact and incorrect. Contemporary writers of the day make little or no mention of the Princes in the Tower and The White Queen and White Princess reaction to the Princes. ![]() Most important, their role was to produce male heirs. Third, women in the 15th Century were auctioned off like cattle to form alliances or end disputes. Second, Elizabeth Woodville did not smuggle Richard out of the country. Those who challenged him weee met with brute force. He was ruthless to anyone who challenged his rule. He was a hardened warrior who came to England and ended The War of the Roses, a bloody civil war that lasted decades. ![]() He was not the weak, whining moron that appears in the series. First, Henry VIi was not anything like the Henry portrayed in this series. As one who studied British History, at length, in college, it's premise is ridiculous. ![]() Whether or not it follows the book is secondary to me. ![]()
