Born into a wealthy and influential family, Elizabeth was orphaned at a young age and raised by her ambitious grandmother, Jacquetta of Luxembourg. Elizabeth grew into a beautiful and intelligent young woman, and she soon caught the attention of King Edward IV.
Edward was immediately smitten with Elizabeth, and the two were married in secret in 1464. The marriage was a controversial one, as Elizabeth was a commoner and Edward was the king. However, Edward was determined to make Elizabeth his queen, and he eventually won the support of his court and the English people.
Elizabeth's coronation as queen was a lavish affair, and she quickly became one of the most popular and influential women in England. She was a generous patron of the arts, and she founded several schools and hospitals. Elizabeth was also a skilled politician, and she played a key role in her husband's reign.
However, Elizabeth's reign was not without its challenges. The War of the Roses was still raging, and Edward was often away from home fighting for his throne. Elizabeth had to deal with rebellions and plots against her husband, and she was constantly worried about the safety of her children.
In 1483, Edward IV died suddenly, and Elizabeth's world came crashing down. Her son, Edward V, was crowned king, but he was soon deposed by his uncle, Richard III. Elizabeth and her children were imprisoned in the Tower of London, and they were all murdered in 1485.
Elizabeth Widville was a complex and fascinating figure. She was a beautiful and ambitious woman who achieved great things, but she also faced great challenges. Her life is a testament to the power and resilience of women in the face of adversity.
The new biography of Elizabeth Widville is a must-read for anyone interested in English history or the lives of powerful women. The book is well-written and engaging, and it sheds new light on one of the most fascinating queens in English history.
