Reseña del libro "Cousins' war 02. The red Queen "
Heiress to the red rose of Lancaster Margaret Beaufort never surrenders her belief that her house is the true ruler of England and that she has a great destiny before her. Her ambitions are disappointed when her sainted cousin Henry VI fails to recognize her as a kindred spirit and she is even more dismayed when he sinks into madness. Her mother mocks her plans revealing that Margaret will always be burdened with the reputation of her father one of the most famously incompetent English commanders in France. But worst of all for Margaret is when she discovers that her mother is sending her to a loveless marriage in remote Wales.Married to a man twice her age quickly widowed and a mother at only fourteen Margaret is determined to turn her lonely life into a triumph. She sets her heart on putting her son on the throne of England regardless of the cost to herself to England and even to the little boy. Disregarding rival heirs and the overwhelming power of the York dynasty she names him Henry like the king; sends him into exile; and pledges him in marriage to her enemy Elizabeth of York s daughter. As the political tides constantly move and shift Margaret charts her own way through another loveless marriage treacherous alliances and secret plots. She feigns loyalty to the usurper Richard III and even carries his wife s train at her coronation.
