About this listen
May 1483: The Tower of London. When King Edward IV dies and Lady Elysabeth Scrope delivers her young godson, Edward V, into the Tower of London to prepare for his coronation, she is engulfed in political turmoil. Within months, the prince and his brother have disappeared, Richard III is declared king, and Elysabeth's sister Margaret Beaufort conspires with her son Henry Tudor to invade England and claim the throne.
Desperate to protect her godson, Elysabeth battles the intrigue, betrayal and power of the last medieval court, defying her Yorkist husband and her Lancastrian sister under her godmother's sacred oath to keep Prince Edward safe. Bound by blood and rent by honor, Elysabeth is torn between the crown and her family, knowing that if her loyalty is questioned, she is in peril of losing everything-including her life.
Were the princes murdered by their uncle, Richard III? Did Margaret Beaufort mastermind their disappearance to usher in the Tudor dynasty? Or did the young boys vanish for their own safety? Of anyone at the royal court, Elysabeth has the most to lose-and the most to gain—by keeping secret the fate of the Princes in the Tower.

Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that change what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower.

Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, and to devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding, Lucrezia is thrust into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf. Having barely left girlhood behind, Lucrezia must make her way in a court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed.

Absolutely delicious!
An amazingly captivating work of historical fiction of the battles for the English monarchy. Sound tedious? I thought so. I had to think again!
Psychologically astute, beautifully rendered with exquisite sensory & historical detail, one finds oneself in the midst of medieval times living the events! It was an absolute delight to listen to Elizabeth St.John, as she narrates with the same power with which she writes!
Absolutely delicious!

Laborious
I found this book, in part m, very laborious. However, that is one of the reasons that I enjoyed it. Because I’ve read or listened to almost every available piece on the missing princess, I’ve recognized how the laborious writings have won much of what can be interrupted as the truth. My associates have always asked me, “But who’s truth”. I usually smile and tell them, the truth that I’ve believed since I was a teenager. King Richard loved his brother King Edward. He would have never killed his brother’s sons. The Princes were rescued and kept safely in exile for the remainder of their lives because their mother would never have lived the remaining years of her life in the manner reported if she believed they were deceased. She and the Princesses would never have left sanctuary and Queen Elizabeth would have never allowed her daughters to return to court under Richard’s Kingship. Without proof of death or life, Henry and Margaret did not live in peace. Good!
I appreciated the family connections disclosed by the author. She must have had a ball with her research, discoveries, and writings. Good!
