Description

Jacquetta, daughter of the Count of Luxembourg and kinswoman to half the royalty of Europe, was married to the great Englishman John, Duke of Bedford, uncle to Henry VI. Widowed at the age of nineteen she took the extraordinary risk of marrying a gentleman of her house-hold for love, and then carved out a life for herself as Queen Margaret of Anjou's close friend and a Lancaster supporter - until the day that her daughter Elizabeth Woodville fell in love and married the rival king Edward IV. Of all the little-known but important women of the period, her dramatic story is the most neglected. With her links to Melusina, and to the founder of the house of Luxembourg, together with her reputation for making magic, she is the most haunting of heroines.

Loved this book. Haven't read historical fiction before, but always been interested in it on TV and thought I'd give it a go. I have enjoyed it immensely, and am off to read The White Queen next, and I expect I will get through all of her books eventually!

Just finished The Other Queen. Waiting to get my hands on The Lady of the Rivers. I read all the other books in chronolgical order. Kept getting confused when I read them as I got them. Anyone else have that problem?
