Elizabeth of York

Elizabeth of York would have ruled England, but for the fact that she was a woman. Heiress to the royal House of York, she schemed to marry Richard III, the man who had deposed and probably killed her brothers, and it is possible that she then conspired to put Henry Tudor on the throne. This book is a portrait of this beloved queen.

This book tells the story of the queen whose marriage to King Henry VII ended England's Wars of the Roses and inaugurated the 118-year Tudor dynasty. Best known as the mother of Henry VIII and grandmother of Elizabeth I, this Queen Elizabeth contributed far beyond the act of giving birth to future monarchs. Her marriage to Henry VII unified the feuding houses of Lancaster and York, and her popularity with the people helped her husband survive rebellions that plagued his first decade of rule. Queen Elizabeth's gracious manners and large family created a warm, convivial Court marked by a rather exceptional fondness between the royal couple. Her love for music, literature, and architecture also helped inspire England's Renaissance.

NEW YORK TIMES BETSELLER - A poignant, suspenseful, and sometimes tragic biography of Elizabeth of York, the first Tudor queen and mother of Henry VIII, from the renowned author hailed as "the finest historian of English monarchical succession writing" (The Boston Globe) " Weir] is a meticulous scholar. . . . She] sincerely admires her subject, doing honor to an almost forgotten queen."--The New York Times Book Review Elizabeth of York's life spanned one of England's most dramatic and perilous periods, inextricably caught up in the turmoil of the Wars of the Roses and the establishment of the Tudor dynasty. The first child of King Edward IV, Elizabeth enjoyed all the glittering trappings of royalty. But after the death of her father, the disappearance and probable murders of her brothers, the Princes in the Tower, and the usurpation of the throne by her calculating uncle, Richard III, Elizabeth found her world turned upside-down. Acclaimed historian Alison Weir addresses Elizabeth's relationship with Richard and her covert support for--and subsequent marriage to--Henry Tudor, the exiled pretender who defeated Richard at the Battle of Bosworth and was crowned Henry VII. For centuries historians have asserted that, as queen, she was kept under Henry's firm grasp, but Weir shows that Elizabeth proved to be a model spouse--pious and generous--who enjoyed the confidence of her husband, exerted a tangible and beneficial influence, and was revered by her son, the future King Henry VIII. Drawing from a rich trove of historical records, Weir provides a long overdue and much-deserved look at this unforgettable princess whose line descends to today's British monarchy--a woman who overcame tragedy and danger to become one of England's most beloved consorts.

'A VIBRANT PROPHET OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD' is how Pope John Paul IIdescribed Elizabeth of the Trinity. In this compelling book, we enter deeplyinto her life and spirituality and see just how relevant Elizabeth's message is for those of us living in today's highly secularised society.Attractive, lively, ardent, talented, yet with her share of faults, Elizabethshows that when we give ourselves to God, he builds on our nature andtransforms us gradually into himself. She challenges us to follow her exampleand respond to God's universal call to holiness, while reawakening us to theimmense depth and beauty of the normal channels of God's grace: prayer andthe sacraments.The author shows how Elizabeth offers a compelling witness of holiness tothe Church of today for 'Her life is what God wills every life to be'.Cardinal Albert de Courtray, former Bishop of Dijon, expressed it succinctly: "It is easy to see how Elizabeth's message is addressed to all Christians.She never for one moment entertained the idea that her calling as aCarmelite conferred some sort of spiritual superiority on her. ForChristian spiritual life is founded upon faith, baptism and becoming evermore like Jesus Christ; so that whatever the Christian may be, whateverhis or her moral, psychological or social condition, he or she is alwaysthat 'new humanity' in which Christ will come again to renew all hismystery.""This is a truly remarkable book. It is written in a clear, simple and engaging style by an author who shares with us her deep love of Elizabeth of the Trinity and her profound grasp of Elizabeth's spirituality, centred on the indwelling presence of God in every baptised person. The book offers us deep insights into the development of Elizabeth's inner life and the major themes in her writings, as seen through the eyes of someone who speaks from first-hand experience and with authority about the life of a Carmelite nun." James McCaffrey, O.C.D. (Editor of Mount Carmel magazine)Sr Marian Teresa Murphy, a Carmelite of St Joseph's Monastery, Liverpool, England completed her MA dissertation on Elizabeth of the Trinity with distinction.She is the author of Always Believe in Love - Selected Spiritual Writings of Elizabeth of theTrinity. An engaging speaker, she has made several CDs on various aspects of Elizabeth's life and spirituality, which form the basis of this inspiring book.

Elizabeth of York and the Birth of the Tudor Dynasty

Elizabeth of York and the Birth of the Tudor Dynasty

Elizabeth of York has often been overlooked by Tudor historians in favour of her infamous son King Henry VIII and his six wives, as well as her glorious ‘Virgin Queen’ granddaughter Queen Elizabeth I. But Elizabeth, the daughter of King Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, deserves far more recognition than she currently receives. She suffered the loss of her younger brothers, the Princes in the Tower, and lived through the reign of her maligned uncle King Richard III, who it has been suggested plotted to marry his niece. Elizabeth was born at a time when having women in power was not considered desirable, but if she had been able to rule then Elizabeth would have been England’s first queen regnant. It was her position as the heiress to the House of York that solidified her husband’s claim to the throne. When she married Henry VII they finally united the warring houses of Lancaster and York. It is often thought that Elizabeth was a weak, ineffectual and pious woman who was too meek to challenge her husband’s rule, but in reality she held some sway over her husband and he often valued her opinion. If anything, Elizabeth was a resolute, well-respected and influential queen. Despite being of Plantagenet blood, Elizabeth of York was the mother of the Tudor dynasty, one of England’s most powerful and ruthless monarchies. Yet she was a devoted mother and an adored queen to the people of England.

As Tudors go, Elizabeth of York is relatively unknown. Yet she was the mother of the dynasty, with her children becoming King of England (Henry VIII) and Queens of Scotland (Margaret) and France (Mary Rose) and her direct descendants included three Tudor monarchs, two executed queens and, ultimately, the Stuart royal family. Although her offspring took England into the early modern era, Elizabeth's upbringing was rooted firmly in the medieval world. The pivotal moment was 1485. Before then, her future was uncertain amid the turbulent Wars of the Roses, Elizabeth being promised first to one man and then another, and witnessing the humiliation and murder of her family. Surviving the bloodbath of the reign of her uncle, Richard III, she slipped easily into the roles of devoted wife and queen to Henry VII and mother to his children, and has been venerated ever since for her docility and beauty. But was she as placid as history has suggested? In fact, she may have been a deeply cultured and intelligent survivor who learned to walk a difficult path through the twists and turns of fortune. Perhaps she was more of a modern woman than historians have given her credit for.
