Triumph and tragedy, love and loss, murder and malice in the lives of five fifteenth-century queens

Joan of Navarre, Katherine of Valois, Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Widville and Anne Neville were the queens at the heart of the turbulent English royal court. Five very different women, they were each caught up in wars, manoeuvres and losses that changes the course of history.

In this gripping finale to her acclaimed series on the queens of medieval England, Alison Weir uncovers how these formidable women shaped history from the throne.
