Reseña del libro "Cecily Neville: Mother of Richard iii (en Inglés)"

Wife to Richard, Duke of York, mother to Edward IV and Richard III, and aunt to the famous 'Kingmaker', Richard, Earl of Warwick, Cecily Neville was a key player on the political stage of fifteenth-century Britain England.Mythologically known as 'the Rose of Raby' because of her alleged beauty and birth at Raby Castle, and as 'Proud Cis' because of her rumoured vanity and fiery temper, Cecily's personality and temperament have been highly speculated upon. In fact, much of her life is shrouded in mystery. Putting aside Cecily's role as mother and wife, who was she really?Matriarch of the York dynasty, she navigated through a tumultuous period and lived to see the birth of the future Henry VIII. Cecily saw the House of York defeat their Lancastrian cousins, the defeat of her own son, Richard III, at the battle of Bosworth, and then saw one of her granddaughters become Henry VII's queen consort.Her story is full of controversy and the few published books on her life are full of guess-work. In this highly original history, Dr John Ashdown-Hill seeks to dispel the myths surrounding Cecily using previously unexamined contemporary sources.
