Elizabeth Wydeville
My prior knowledge of the slandered queen came heavily from Tudor sources. Okerlund has produced a greatly overdue balance in the appraisal of Edward IV's queen.
The author shows that it was not just Elizabeth who was a shining light of the age, but the Wydeville family as a whole produced intellectual, enlightened and chivalric members of the English nobility in the late fifteenth century. Sir Anthony Wydeville (Lord Rivers), being a prime example of this.
Elizabeth lived through these turbulent times, suffering the loss of her father and brother, executed by Neville when Edward was deposed, as well as the execution of Sir Anthony, her brother, after Stony Stratford, and the mystery of her two sons, the princes in the tower, after the coup of Richard III.
She lives to see the birth of Tudor England and to become grandmother to the future Henry VIII. Elizabeth Wydeville must rank alongside Edward III's wife, Queen Philippa of Hainault, as a great queen, faithful wife and loving mother as well as patron of arts.
Brilliant biography.
