The Lost Tudor Princess by Alison Weir

Uncover the Untold Story: A Captivating Look at the Life of Margaret Douglas!

Journey back to the tumultuous Tudor court with The Lost Tudor Princess by the masterful historian Alison Weir! This captivating paperback brings to life the extraordinary and often hazardous story of Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox. With royal Tudor blood flowing in her veins, Margaret ranked high at the court of her uncle, Henry VIII, and was lady of honour to five of his wives. Renowned for her beauty and tempestuous nature, she famously "created scandal – twice – by falling in love with unsuitable men."

Alison Weir, celebrated as "a fine writer with a wonderful gift for description" by Literary Review, skillfully chronicles Margaret's dynamic life. You'll discover how her dynastic ties to two crowns proved consistently hazardous, leading her to be imprisoned in the Tower of London three times and even placed under sentence of death. Her husband and son were brutally murdered, and she warred with two queens. Yet, she proved instrumental in securing the Stuart succession to the throne of England for her grandchildren. Weir offers a "refreshing perspective on an otherwise familiar period of British history" (The Times), pulling Margaret Douglas's compelling character "out of the shadows for the first time." This is an essential read for any history enthusiast!
