The Red Queen
by Philippa Gregory
Philippa Gregory's The Red Queen is the second in a series of historical fiction novels on the War of the Roses a.k.a. “The Cousin's War”, following the House of Lancaster, rulers of England and Wales. This book follows Margaret Beaufort from a child to the mother of King Henry VII. In this book, we follow the fall of the Tudor King Henry VI, the rise and fall of power of the York kings, to the reclamation of the throne by the Tudor King Henry VII.
I am thoroughly engrossed in this series and have taken great pains to work out the different families/royalty. It is hard to keep all the Henrys, Margarets , Edwards, Elizabeths, etc. sorted out, and am finding the history fascinating. I am now hooked and am glad to be reading this series while the Starz Network is playing the mini-series based on The White Queen, The Red Queen, and The Kingmaker’s Daughter.
