In Joanna Hickson's "The Tudor Crown," Edward of York reclaims the English throne, forcing the Lancastrian nobility, including young Henry Tudor with his strong claim to the crown, into exile. Henry's mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, allies with Edward's queen to secure her family's safety by marrying the king's shrewdest courtier. Torn between loyalty to her son, duty to her husband, and allegiance to the king, Margaret navigates complex political tensions. Tragedy strikes, reigniting Henry's claim to the throne and thrusting the family into perilous circumstances. Hickson masterfully explores the intricate web of loyalty and ambition in this gripping historical narrative.
