Elizabeth Woodville

The Unfortunate Countess: Margaret Pole

March 14, 2019 by Rebecca Larson 1 Comment

At Farleigh Castle on the 14th of August 1473, a daughter was born to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence. They called her Margaret, most likely after the Duke's sister's Margaret of Burgundy. Margaret was born during the brutal and bloody time of the Wars of the Rose - a powerful family divided by the House of York and House of Lancaster, and each believed the throne of England belonged to them. Margaret Plantagenet was born in the middle of this English chaos. At the time of [More]

The Queen was dead. Queen Elizabeth of York had been introduced to the realm 37 years to the day of her death in an England much different from the one she left.

Most Influential Tudor Women: Margaret Beaufort

August 13, 2018 by Rebecca Larson 1 Comment

On my Facebook page called, Tudors Dynasty, I asked my followers who they believed to be the most influential women of the Tudor era. It is because of this poll that I decided to turn this into a series of episodes about some amazing Tudor women. Before I start, let's understand what influential truly means. The Definition of Influential is: having great influence on someone or something. Now that we know the definition of the word, does that change our ideas about [More]

The Enigmatic Elizabeth Woodville (Guest Post)

The Enigmatic Elizabeth Woodville By Samantha Wilcoxson for Tudors Dynasty What did Elizabeth know? We love to use the actions of Elizabeth Woodville to support any argument regarding the events of 1483, assuming that she had greater knowledge than we possess and that her actions would be the same as ours in light of it. She went into sanctuary because she knew Richard was a ruthless killer....she left because she knew he was not. She betrothed her daughter to Henry Tudor [More]

The Life and Love of the Pretender

March 23, 2016 by Rebecca Larson 10 Comments

During the reign of King Henry VII, the "Pretender," Perkin Warbeck claimed to be Richard, Duke of York, the second son of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. At the time it was very significant for Warbeck to come forward as the Duke of York because there were still many Yorkist supporters -- Henry VII had only reigned for a short time and some noblemen and subjects alike had hoped for a York resurrection. If he were indeed the son of the late King Edward IV the throne of [More]
