Poor Cecily, she certainly suffered many losses. I think we think these days that they didn’t suffer as much when a child was lost but it must have been dreadful. The stress they went through! Think poor Elizabeth of York. I’m afraid I’m not a fan of Margaret Beaufort, have t been since I was 11 and, believe me, that was many, many years ago! Not sure saying that men were misogynistic is right, they knew no better. It was the way of the world back then and they had the church’s backing! Many, many women must have felt so stifled by their lives but, for very few, it was just the way it was. Thoroughly enjoyable though ladies, thank you. I’ve always loved history as well. I could have come top of the school in grade 7 but ended up becoming equal top ( and I even remember the boys name!!) because I flatly refused to write in the exam that Richard the 111 had killed the princes in the tower! My teacher was so disappointed, my mother - 😱😱😱😱😱😱 - my dad? “ if that’s what you believe bubby”. I was 11 years old and I won’t give the year! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Well, I do believe Phillipa Gregory writes very interesting fantasy books . As long as you take her with a grain of salt her books are very good. Do you know, I’m embarrassed enough to say that I don’t really know why. I’ve just always had a picture of her as a bossy, do anything kind of mother. Over achiever type of persona. Can’t say it better than that. It’s obvious you admire her greatly, good on you for that. Sorry, I’ve just never liked her. Apologies for that, don’t mean to upset you at all. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Wonderful insights of the amazing women of the Wars of the Roses
Thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!

Gotta ask what you don't like about Margaret Beaufort? She's a rockstar. Unless you believe Phillipa Gregory there isn't much to dislike
